He designed Raveena Tandon and Pooja Batra's wedding outfits and gave Soha Ali Khan her first break when she walked the ramp way before she became an actress. Now designer Manav Gangwani, who is all set to enter Bollywood, says he would love to dress up Aishwarya Rai because no one has done full justice to her beauty.
"When I see her, I feel I can make her look more beautiful. I would give her saris to make her more glamorous. She has recently started looking much better in what she is wearing."
"She has always been a victim of fashion because of media attention. But I think she is such a stunner and such a beautiful woman that nobody has been able to do total justice to her," said the Delhi-based designer.

In Kolkata for the inauguration of P365, a new section at Cinema Paradiso, which promises to launch a new film everyday for the next 365 days, Ratnam is still basking in the success of his last film, Guru. And only too happy to answer various questions on the film, especially on the romance of the lead pair — the much-hyped pairing of Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai — and the part he played in it.
“There was no sign of romance on the sets and if it blossomed there, I am not supposed to know, after all they are professionals.”
Working on a project like Guru was certainly a big gamble, and he says he is happy that it has paid off. “I wish I knew why some films work and some don’t. Guru was a challenge for everybody and it worked very well.”
