The event showcased Akshay, Amy and Lara sauntering down the ramp in a "bling" themed fashion showing put together by the Singhs and Kaurs in the fashion industry.

The event started with the grand entry of Akshay followed by two actresses. The next in the line was the fashion show where Akshay, in a Sikh look, was the showstopper.

Post the fashion show, Akshay was asked that why Bling has been attached to the latest film and he said: "Bling is not related to outfit but to the imagination of people and how it has chganged."

The unique part about the show was that everyone's outfit was inspired by Sikh culture. Not only this, even the models were Sikhs.

Sethi was also dressed in a Sikh look.

In ‘Singh Is Bliing’, directed by Prabhu Deva, Akshay plays a Sikh character. The film will release on October 2.
