"Deepika is love and too warm and beautiful," he said.

For the actor, Bachchan is "The only Legend".

"Sharon may not know but I am her biggest fan. She is the most gorgeous and intelligent woman!!!" the actor commented.

Armani fashion journey

Giorgio Armani’s journey from window dresser to fashion emperor

Giorgio Armani: 10 chapters that turned a window dresser into fashion’s emperor

Highlights:

  • Armani began as a window dresser in Milan before sketching suits for Nino Cerruti.
  • In 1975, he launched his own label by selling his car, sparking a quiet fashion revolution.
  • His unstructured suits redefined power dressing for men and women in the 1980s.
  • From American Gigolo to the Oscars, Armani became Hollywood’s style signature.
  • He built a global empire yet stayed hands-on, shaping fashion until his final days at 91.

It’s strange to think Armani once stood behind a shop window, fixing mannequins instead of red carpets. He wasn’t born into Milan’s glittering salons or stitched into privilege. His journey started with burns from a war shell, with a mother who made scraps look elegant, with a young man who quit medical school because he couldn’t quite see his future in blood and bandages.

From there, he picked up fabrics, cuts, and the quiet dream of building something lasting. And against all odds, he did. You know his clothes. You’ve seen that look, the effortless drape of a jacket, the quiet confidence of a suit that doesn’t scream but whispers luxury. Giorgio Armani, who left us last year at 91, wasn’t just a designer, he rewrote how the world dresses. These ten chapters show how he carved that throne.
