Kangana Ranaut, who walked the ramp as a showstopper, added, “It was a pleasure to be back on the ramp, and that too for something so special. Now that the whole world is talking about organic, sustainable fabrics, we all should take this opportunity to promote our Indian fabrics like khadi. Khadi should be our identity.”
