Actress Yuvika Chaudhury, who featured in the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer "Om Shanti Om", will walk the ramp at the Lakme Fashion Week (LFW) for designer Sabah Khan.
"Yuvika Chaudhury would be my showstopper and she has never dressed in this style before. She has always worn classic dresses. But what she would be wearing for the show, would be very funky," Khan told IANS.
Yuvika, who has been part of films like "Summer 2007", "Toh Baat Pakki" and will also be seen in upcoming Govinda-starrer "Naughty @40", will walk the ramp for Khan's "Tuk Tuk On Linen" collection.
Apart from the fact that the young actress is Khan's friend, the designer also chose Yuvika because she could not afford to get a bigger star for her show.
"I have just graduated from NIFD (International Institute of Fashion Design) so, from an emerging designer's point of view, I don't have the contacts and the backing where I can afford to give a grand fees to a big star to be my showstopper. Yuvika is a very dear friend and fits in very well, so I decided on her," said the 21-year-old designer.
