"Last year there was a fabulous wedding in Delhi. It was the wedding of Virender Sehwag and this year we want to give him an anniversary present," said a Samsung spokesperson.

Looking very hip in a Shantanu-Nikhil designed cotton jacket with silk sleeves, Veer was in model-mode. He wore a cotton viscose t-shirt underneath and a metallic Swarovski studded necklace. "We were inspired by the skiing-culture while designing his look," Shantanu said. They gave him a pair of tiiight washed denims to finish the look.

Sehwag flashed a plastic smile at shutterbugs, while giving away free phones to some of the designers. Will the other cricketers at the show tonight be sporting a similar look? "Not at all," says Nikhil. "We have gone the other way, with pure black for the show tonight," he added.
