Rasha Thadani and Ibrahim Ali Khan walk hand in hand for JJ Valaya at ICW, netizens react ‘Better than Sara and Janhvi’

From luxe designers and showstopper moments to Bollywood’s drama that takes the headlines, Delhi is all lit up with Indian Couture Week 2025. Amongst the many designers who showcased their looks on the ramp this year, one of them was JJ Valaya, who closed his show with two of Bollywood’s most promising star kids, Rasha Thadani and Ibrahim Ali Khan. Unlike any regular walk, their debut together in JJ Valaya’s opulent ensembles was a generational handover, a nostalgic moment steeped in elegance and pride.

Besides giving notes to fashion enthusiasts, this evening also held a special place for Bollywood buffs. Rasha, daughter of Raveena Tandon, and Ibrahim, son of Saif Ali Khan, brought an air of royalty and reverence. JJ Valaya’s designs were both timeless and added a contemporary flair.

Rasha’s Regal Lehenga

Rasha walked the ramp in full confidence, donning a regal lehenga, adorned with intricate embroidery and signature JJ Valaya prints. The ensemble was the perfect amalgamation of grandeur and elegance. To complete her look, it was styled with subtle accessories and soft, flowing hair; her look was a graceful nod to the legacy of Indian couture. Speaking about her experience post-walk, Rasha spoke about the full-circle moment as she recalled how her mother, Raveena, used to wear JJ Valaya’s designs.

Ibrahim Ali Khan: A Modern Nawab

Matching her elegance was Ibrahim Ali Khan, who stunned the audience in a velvet sherwani paired with pathani-style bottoms. Oozing charisma and poise, Ibrahim embodied the vibes of a modern nawab: understated, elegant, and impactful.

Together, the duo brought JJ Valaya’s vision to life, a fusion of traditional Indian craftsmanship with modern fashion sensibilities.

As soon as the two closed the show, netizens were quick to react. Fans called Rasha “a star in the making” and compared her with other actresses who also walked the ramp in the same fashion week. One said, “Her walk is so, so much better than Sara’s and Janhvi’s’s.” A third added, “She is literally better than most actresses of her age.” They also applauded Ibrahim’s “regal charm.” JJ Valaya fondly looked back on his decades-long journey, including his bond with Raveena Tandon.
