"Aishwarya is not only a dear friend but has also been my design muse for many years now. Having worked with her in various films, runway shows and red carpet appearances, it has always been a pleasure, given her strong work ethic," Manish said earlier.

The management company for the event, FAB Entertainment’s CEO, Fauzia Vohra said in a statement, “Fashion Weekend International will be a weekend of many firsts, with this event launching globally in Qatar, with a destination focus, showcasing Manish Malhotra and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for the first time together internationally in collaboration with NABILA and Zero Make Up, making it an unmissable event on fashion calendars around the world.”

The beauty queen was last seen in Fanney Khan with Anil Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao. The film failed to do well at the box office. She will now be seen with husband Abhishek Bachchan in a new movie, Gulab Jamun.

Talking about how working with his wife is always special, Abhishek said, “Gulab Jamun is a sweet film and it’s always a pleasure to work with the missus. Every time we’ve done a film together, it’s been special.”
