Rakul Preet to walk the ramp with Jackky Bhagnani for Lakshmi Manchu
Mumbai– Tollywood actress Rakul Preet Singh is all excited to walk down the ramp with beau Jackky Bhagnani at Lakshmi Manchu’s charity fashion show for her NGO, Teach for Change.

Speaking about her participation at the show, Rakul Preet said: “Lakshmi is like family to me and doing this for an initiative which is so close to her is really fulfilling. This is going to be the 8th edition of Teach for Change’s annual charity fashion show and I have seen it grow over the years.”
Lakshmi added: “Rakul is always my first choice for showstopper. Varun was very excited when I onboarded her. Apart from the fact that she is my friend, philosopher and guide, Rakul is a thoroughbred professional with years of experience on the ramp.”
When asked about Rakul’s show-stopping ensemble, Lakshmi did not give away much except that they are still torn between two looks, both of which she is in love with.

Lakshmi Manchu will host the event and, along with Rakul, Jackky Bhagnani, badminton players Saina Nehwal and Parupalli Kashyap, and a few more South Indian stars, will walk the ramp.
