dispute
The controversy between Manish Malhotra and Anushka Sharma has been widely discussed. All the outfits Anushka chose for her wedding were designed by Sabhyasachi and not Manish. Manish was not even present at the reception ceremony of Anushka and Virat Kohli. It all started with the sets of the film Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and Anushka’s wedding dress. She felt uneasy about the dress and said it gave her a bridal feel. Later, Manish laughed it off and said it was all a misunderstanding.
