    Kajol to present special show ‘The Manish Malhotra Magic’ on Zee Muzic

    MUMBAI: Bollywood actress Kajol is set to make her presence felt on the small screen hosting a special show on the music channel — Zee Muzic on 21 April.

    The channel will showcase The Manish Malhotra Magic at 9 pm. In the show, Kajol will share her insights on fashion icon Manish – the designer, the man and the friend. She will speak on Manish’s paranoia, along with her penchant for his designs.

    Commenting on this special Zee Muzic business head Irshwin Balwani said, “Manish has always been strongly associated with Bollywood. Keeping in mind the whole fashion season that’s been going on, be it the Lakmé Fashion Week or the WLIFW, we decided to focus on one designer as a one hour special show. And since Zee Muzic is a Bollywood driven music channel, we thought Manish was apt for this special since he’s synonymous with Bollywood like no other designer is.”

    He said, “We wanted someone who was articulate, who could present Manish correctly and knew him in and out as a person and as a designer, and we couldn’t think of anyone bigger and better than Kajol. Kajol’s is very closely associated with Manish and we couldn’t think of anyone better, who would speak about him the way she has.”

    The one-hour special will showcase Manish’s collection from Lakmé Fashion Week 2006. Kajol will also share her first experience on the ramp. Along with Kajol, Karisma Kapoor and Karan Johar, will share their thoughts on Manish Malhotra.
