Fashion designer Manish Malhotra has been dolling up celebrities with his stunning outfits in the entertainment industry for over three decades now. He has worked with some of the top filmmakers in the country on the biggest films. During a recent interaction, the designer revealed how he has worked with many filmmakers multiple times, except Sanjay Leela Bhansali, with whom he collaborated just once.
On his recent appearance on the chat show Two Much With Kajol and Twinkle, Manish revealed how Sanjay has never collaborated with the designer since his debut film over 30 years ago. Manish claimed that it was largely due to Bhansali`s assumption that Manish was part of a ‘group’ with Karan Johar and Aditya Chopra.
