Fashion Stays With You, No Matter How Your Career Evolves”: Amal Sehrawat Walks the Ramp for Couturier JJ Valaya
Popular actor Amal Sehrawat reflects on returning to the runway for iconic designer JJ Valaya, the evolution of the fashion industry, and his admiration for supermodel Noyonika Chatterjee.
Acclaimed actor Amal Sehrawat—widely recognized for his impactful roles in hit television shows like Choti Sarrdaarni and Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, as well as prominent digital projects including Apoorva Lakhia’s Crackdown and Ram Gopal Varma's Sarkar 3—recently made a striking return to his modeling roots, walking the ramp for legendary couturier JJ Valaya.
Reflecting on stepping back onto the runway after a hiatus, Sehrawat described the showcase as a deeply nostalgic and meaningful milestone in his artistic journey:
"Modelling will always be a very special part of my journey because it was where everything began for me. Walking the ramp for a designer like JJ Valaya after so many years brought back a lot of memories. It made me realise how much I have evolved, both personally and professionally. His designs have a certain grandeur and timeless elegance, and wearing his creation was a beautiful experience. It was also a reminder that fashion stays with you, no matter how your career evolves."
For the high-profile show, Sehrawat showcased a structured blue and teal ensemble featuring a refined, contemporary bandhgala-style silhouette. Praising the design for its understated sophistication, the actor noted that true style lies in carrying a creation with quiet confidence rather than letting the outfit overpower the individual.
Discussing how the fashion landscape has transformed since his early modeling days, Sehrawat highlighted the immense impact of digital media. While social media has made fashion more accessible and turned models into multi-faceted content creators, he maintained that core qualities—such as runway presence, individuality, and discipline—remain irreplaceable.
Sharing his admiration for industry legends, the actor praised iconic supermodel Noyonika Chatterjee for her commanding presence, adding that true top models do not merely showcase a garment, but lend it emotion, character, and distinct attitude.
