I had the honour of meeting the great Micheal Jackson. I had designed a smart cut sherwani with trousers and a shawl with Indian Embroidery art .. not only did he wear the outfit he also thanked me on stage at the Bollywood Awards USA which became a memorable moment for me.” Jackson donned the Sherwani and walked up to the stage of Bollywood Awards 1999. June 26 marked a decade of losing Michael Jackson who died of an anaesthetic propofol and sedatives’ overdose in 2009.
