Breakthrough in his Career

Since childhood, Malhotra was enamored of colors and often taught his mother about make-up and lipstick colors. He was good at sketching and art but he was only an ordinary student at school studies. The two qualities that helped him survive through his formal institutional training were his excellent illustrations and designs.

His profession breakthrough occurred when he made clothes for the lead cast of the film, Rangeela. From a simplistic and sober character in the film, he transformed Urmila Matondkar into a hot and sexy woman. Manish not only picks her clothes but her make-up and hair too. After this design, he became the ‘desired’ designer. Most ladies required him to make them invincible!

Perfectionist of Indian Cinema Fashion Design

He is one of class because first Malhotra gives time reading the film’s script, examines the characters’ selves and roles, as well as explains the dress with the actor; and then starts to design clothes for them. Manish never seems restricted in terms of the size of the artist, but he does feel sad when people display no interest in the designing of clothes.

Additionally, he has collaborated with Google to launch the G Suite-an apps created for new professionals. He created the jersey of IPL team called Kolkata Knight Riders.

Among many of his accomplishments, he considers his first Film-fare Award as the most important achievement and other being the crack of his 9,000 square-feet flagships in Delhi. Furnishing livelihood to many designers around the corner, he is doing what much only desire or wish to do. Every lady and bride wants to be donned by this attractive designer.

“Never miss focus. There are no alternatives to success. But, when it does arrive, work harder.”
