Kajol
will
soon
be
seen
talking
about
close
friend,
designer
Manish
Malhotra,
on
Zee
Muzic.
The
show,
called
The
Manish
Malhotra
Magic,
will
air
on
April
21,
at
9
pm.
In
the
past,
Karan
Johar
did
a
one-hour
special,
talking
about
the
10
women
who
impacted
his
life,
for
the
International
Women's
Day.
Over
to
Kajol...
Why
did
you
decide
to
appear
on
The
Manish
Malhotra
Magic,
on
Zee
Muzic?
I
have
spoken
about
Manish,
who
is
a
very
dear
friend.
It's
not
as
if
I've
anchored
the
show.
All
I've
done
is
shed
some
light
on
the
man,
the
designer
and
the
friend.
What
was
your
reaction
when
you
were
asked?
The
channel
didn't
call
me.
Manish
called
me
and
I
couldn't
possibly
refuse
him.
So,
I
agreed.
Tell
us
about
Manish
-
the
friend,
the
designer
and
the
person.
We're
friends
and
we
know
it...
we
don't
have
to
call
each
other
everyday.
But
I
know
he's
always
there
for
me.
As
a
designer,
what's
great
about
him
is
that
when
he's
dressing
a
woman,
he's
dressing
the
woman.
He
doesn't
necessarily
go
by
trends.
He's
patient
and
will
go
to
any
limits
to
make
a
woman
look
beautiful.
Why
Kajol
was
chosen?
Says
Irshwin
Balvani,
business
head,
Zee
Muzic,
"The
show
celebrates
the
magic
of
the
fashion
designer.
We
thought
Manish
was
apt,
as
he's
synonymous
with
Bollywood
like
no
other
designer
is.
Our
tagline
is
Bollywood
Remixed
For
Extra
Pleasure.
We
wanted
someone
who
was
articulate,
who
could
present
Manish
correctly
and
knew
him
in
and
out
as
a
person
and
as
a
designer
-
we
couldn't
think
of
anyone
bigger
and
better
than
Kajol
to
speak
about
him
the
way
she
has.
