3. Abu Jani and Sandeep Kohsla

In nearly all of the Bollywood weddings of the recent times, all that we can see people sport these days are Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla’s magical weaves. Bejeweled and grand, most of the lovely anarkalis and lehengas that are made by ‘the boys’ (as the two are often called by their friends of the tinseltown), are winning hearts of the B-town royalty and the normal folk alike.

6. Ritu Kumar

While there are a lot of designers who can make some lovely Indian clothes, none can bring the old world charm back to life the way Ritu Kumar does with her designs. Ritu Kumar’s love for the ancient, traditional Indian clothing made her the go-to designer for most weddings in Bolly-world. For instance, that gorgeous red lehenga that Kareena Kapoor wore for her wedding was re-made by none other than Ritu Kumar.

If there’s one designer who’s responsible for taking Indian designs out into the world, that would only be Manish Arora. He’s designed for not just a plethora of Bollywood celebs but also a whole lot of international celebs including the likes of Katy Perry, Lady Gaga (yes…even Lady Gaga!) and Nicky Minaj.
