Ananya Panday Wore Her Mom’s 21-Year-Old Suit, But Here’s What Makes It Even More Special

Renowned Indian designer Rohit Bal, fondly known as “Gudda,” passed away on November 1, 2024, leaving a deep impact on the fashion and Bollywood industry. Since his passing, Bollywood stars, friends, and admirers have been paying heartfelt tributes to celebrate his legacy. Actress Ananya Panday also recently honored him in a unique and personal way.

For a friend’s wedding, Ananya chose to re-wear a custom-made suit designed by Rohit Bal for her mother, Bhavna Panday, 21 years ago, and it’s breaking the internet. The sea-green suit, adorned with intricate detailing, beautifully showcases the legacy Rohit left behind. Sharing the sentimental moment on Instagram, Ananya wrote, “BriDEEEEEE @deeyashroff obsessed with my sister getting married but also not ready to let go of her yet but also very excited to have a brother now !! @mihirmadhvani also wearing my mom’s @rohitbalofficial from 21 years ago! Gudda forever.”

This gesture was even more special because Ananya was the last celebrity to walk for Rohit Bal just weeks before his passing at Lakme Fashion Week, which also turned out to be his final show. Her choice to wear one of his creations again beautifully honors his legacy while also celebrating the artistry and timelessness of his designs.

Ananya’s gesture was indeed very beautiful and heartwarming.
