Renowned

the
founder

the
eponymous
fashion
clothing
brand
which

Indian
saree
a
contemporary
touch,
passed
away
at
the
age
of
79
in
Coimbatore
on
January
6,
2021.
He
breathed
his
last
at
Sadhguru's
Isha
Yoga
Centre.
The
designer
had
suffered
a
stroke
in
December
and
was
on
the
road

was
moved
to
Isha
Yoga
Center.
Paul's
son
Puneet
Nanda
shared
this
heartbreaking
news
on
his
Facebook
page
and
wrote,
"He
had
a
stroke
on
December
2
and
as
he
was
slowly
recovering
in
the
hospital,
his
only
wish
was
to
get
all
the
things
he
was
being
monitored
and
poked
with
-
removed
so
he
could
fly
away.
We
finally
got
clearance
from
doctors
to
take
him
back
to
Isha
Yoga
Center,
his
home
since
2015.
As
per
his
wish,
he
gently
passed
on
with
blessings
of
the
Master."
Nanda
further
added,
"He
couldn't
have
had
a
sweeter
life
or
passage,
at
the
feet
of
the
Master.
We
are
sad
a
bit,
mostly
rejoicing
him,
his
life
and
now
his
passing
with
such
a
blessing."
Isha
Yoga
Centre's

Put

one
with

of
time.
Fashion
schools-
pls

this
brand
in

We
can
be

learn
what
happened
on
our
soil
first."
