Punit Balana's new collection was titled 'Lakshmi,' an artistic statement that combines Rajasthani culture and art styles.

Punit has highlighted what the line meant to him when discussing his inspiration for Lakshmi. “Lakshmi’ as the name suggests takes inspiration from the journey of this young, urbane, cosmopolitan girl, Lakshmi, who is well travelled, have explored the world fashion, yet is very rooted,” the designer said the assembled reporters. She is returning to India to attend a friend’s wedding in Rajasthan after the pandemic.” And he claimed that Janhvi Kapoor was his Lakshmi. “So I could relate to Lakshmi in Janhvi so much. She’s young, she’s modern, she’s experimental. She wants to try new fashion trends. So it was very easy for me,” said the designer.

Janhvi opened up about walking the ramp after years and stated, “I had a lot of fun and it was different being

 here after two years. I forgot about the madness that happens backstage, there’s such amazing energy and everyone’s so excited. It definitely lived up to the hype.”
