February 15, 2020 (IANSlife) Indian women cricket team's ODI skipper Mithali Raj and Bollywood actress Alaya Furniturewala made their debut on the ramp on Saturday at the Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2020, being held at Jio World Garden, Mumbai.

Mithali walked the ramp for designer Payal Singhal in association with Corcal Bone and Beauty while Alaya turned showstopper for fashion label SVA by designer duo Sonam and Paras Modi.

Speaking about her experience on the ramp, Mithali told IANSlife: "It's a very different experience. I’m quite excited. I had one rehearsal to get the feel. I had done some charity shows. So I had a little bit of experience. But I’m not a pro in this. But I hope that experience helped."

For Alaya, the experience was "super exciting and nerve-wracking as well".

“I love the designers I walked for. I was working for I think they're wonderful people and wonderful designers and absolutely loved what I was wearing. I felt like a princess in it. And so it was very exciting because supported by such wonderful people," Alaya told IANSlife.

Was she nervous? “Yeah, naturally. I was trying not to say it but I was. But I hoped I did a good job."
