Former Miss Universe and actress Lara Dutta Bhupathi is planning her first visit to Manipur to attend the upcoming Sangai festival.
On November 26, the ‘Andaz’ actor will be the showstopper for designer Robert Naorem at Peace Ground in Churachandpur district as part of the state-level Sangai festival celebrations.
“To all the lovely people in Manipur, I am really excited and looking forward to coming to Manipur for the first time for the Manipur Sangai Festival. I will be in Churachandpur on the 26th of November to walk as a showstopper for designer Robert Naorem and support the handloom and textile industry of Manipur,” said Miss Universe 2000 in a video posted by designer Naorem on Facebook.
I am extremely excited and looking forward to my visit, and I hope to see you all there, she added.
Lara Dutta was most recently seen in the Bollywood action thriller ‘Bell Bottom,’ directed by Ranjit M Tiwari.
The Sangai Festival is back after a two-year hiatus, with a slew of events planned at 13 venues across the state between November 21 and 30 this year.
