A tad late, fashion designer Manish Malhotra recalled late pop icon Michael Jackson on his 10th death anniversary and shared an anecdote of his catch-up with the king of pop.

Even before Manish Malhotra launched his fashion label, he gifted one of his own creations to the pop star which the latter wore to an awards show, the designer recalled.

Sharing an old picture with Jackson on Instagram, Malhotra reminisced his fan boy moment and wrote, “Years ago before I had launched Manish Malhotra label. I had the honour of meeting the great Micheal Jackson.”

He continued, “I had designed a smart cut sherwani with trousers and a shawl with Indian Embroidery art not only did he wear the outfit he also thanked me on stage at the Bollywood Awards USA which became a memorable moment for me.”
