Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 12 : Ace fashion designer Manish Malhotra strolled down memory lane as he remembered winning his first-ever Filmfare Award for Best Costume Design in 1995 for his work in the film 'Rangeela', which starred actor Urmila Matondkar.
Taking to his Instagram account on Saturday, Manish shared a black-and-white throwback picture of himself holding the Filmfare trophy. He also posted an old video showing the award being announced, followed by veteran actress Rekha handing him the trophy on stage.
The third slide of his post contained a note that read, "My first Filmfare came with Rangeela, the same year they decided to introduce the Best Costume Design category. It felt like the industry was finally beginning to see costume not just as clothing, but as storytelling."
In his post, Manish included a caption that read, "The first-ever Filmfare Award (@filmfare) for Costume Design. It feels so nostalgic..."
