Designers Manish Malhotra and Shaina NC held a charity fashion show on June 19 for the Cancer Patients Aid Association. Here's a look at all the celebs who appeared on the ramp for a worthy cause!
They called it the 'Caring With Style' fashion show, because they may be fashionistas but they're all heart!
On Sunday night, Bollywood and television stars came together on the catwalk for veteran designers Manish Malhotra and Shaina NC to raise money for children suffering from cancer.
