The actress will reportedly walk the runway as the showstopper, created by ace designer Varun Chakkilam.
Speaking about his participation in the show, Singh says, “Laxmi is like family to me and doing this for an initiative that is so close to her is really gratifying for me. Her efforts are genuine and it’s not just putting this show together, it’s been a year-long commitment to her. This is the 8th edition of Teach for Change’s annual fundraising charity fashion show and I’ve seen it bit by bit over the years and it’s really appreciated. The quality of education these children receive is nothing like other philanthropic endeavors, it is a class apart. Having a vision is one thing, but executing it and sticking to our ground over the years is another. Lakshmi always inspires. This show is as much mine as it is theirs. I hope my humble effort will contribute to this initiative.”
Manchu says, “Rakul has always been my first choice for the showstopper. Varun was also very excited when I got him onboard. Apart from the fact that she is my friend, philosopher and guide, Rakul is a pure-bred professional with years of experience on the ramp. His presence in the show is encouraging for all of us. He has supported this initiative almost since its inception and I am delighted that he is sharing the spotlight with Jackie for us this year.”

Singh also talked about his fashion game which has grown manifold in the last decade, “I think my fashion mantra is really not to follow trends, but wear what is comfortable and flaunt it more Style it to make it attractive. I love experimenting with my looks, I’ve been into a lot of warm tones and color blocks of late.”
Actor-producer Lakshmi Manchu will host the event and badminton players Saina Nehwal, Parupalli Kashyap and a few more southern stars will walk the ramp along with Rakul and boyfriend Jackky Bhagnani.
