Karan Kapoor, who shot to fame with the Bombay Dyeing ad almost 20 years ago, is now an award-winning photographer.
The former actor-model, who is based in London, is currently in India to show his photographs in his first-ever exhibition in this country.
On Thursday, September 22, several celebrities turned up at his exhibition in Mumbai, hosted by the Tasveer Art Gallery.
Many members of Bollywood's Kapoor clan were present to support Karan, Shashi and Jennifer Kapoor's son.
