Mandira
Bedi,
who
had
the
popular
character
Gutthi
from
Comedy
Nights
With
Kapil,
played
by
Sunil
Grover,
walk
the
ramp
to
showcase
her
latest
sari
collection
on
the
ramp,
says
the
loud
cheers
were
testimony
to
the
popularity
of
the
character.
"I
wanted
a
lovable
character
who
appeals
to
people
across
the
board.
Gutthi
is
absolutely
adorable.
And
she
does
cut
across
a
cross-section
of
admirers," Mandira
said.
Her
show
was
held
as
part
of
a
fashion
event
Oct
5.
"It
was
about
masti
(fun).
By
inviting
Gutthi
to
walk
the
ramp,
I
wanted
to
take
the
fun
aspect
of
the
pageant
to
a
new
level.
And
my
collection,
with
all
its
happy
colours,
was
called
'Joie
de
vivre'.
Who
better
to
end
my
show
than
someone
who
has
given
so
many
people
joy
and
laughter,"
asked
the
actress-anchor-designer.
Mandira
says
Gutthi
brought
the
house
down.
"I've
never
heard
such
loud
cheers
at
any
fashion
show.
Gutthi
got
more
applause
than
the
biggest
of
supermodels.
Every
pose,
every
move
that
she
made;
every
step
she
took,
triggered
off
massive
applause.
It
was
unbelievable!
I
was
taken
aback
by
the
response.
People
simply
loved
her.
It
was
amazing,"
she
said.
According
to
Mandira,
it
wasn't
only
the
cross-dressing
that
appealed
to
the
ramp
watchers.
"It
wasn't
about
a
man
dressed
as
a
man
as
much
as
it
was
about
an
extremely
popular
and
loved
character
that
was
draped
in
a
beautiful
sari,"
she
added.
