Nitanshi Goel seeks Hema Malini’s blessings

Nitanshi stole the spotlight on Thursday at a fashion show in Mumbai, serving up a dazzling runway walk. But what truly showcased her character was the respect she paid to her seniors. In a display of humility, Nitanshi paused her show-stopping walk to touch the feet of Hema, seeking her blessings. She then shared a warm hug with former Miss Universe Sushmita Sen. The video of the moment has surfaced on social media.

In the video, Nitanshi is seen bringing her ramp walk to a pause to pay respects to Hema Malini, seated in the front row. The veteran actor, who was wearing a red saree, was visibly moved as Nitanshi bent down to touch her feet in a gesture of deep respect. She smiled and placed her hand on her chest, acknowledging Nitanshi’s gesture.

Nitanshi then walked over to greet Sushmita, who was also seated near the runway. The two shared a warm hug and exchanged a few words. Sushmita appeared delighted by Nitanshi’s gesture and enthusiastically clapped for Nitanshi as she resumed her walk.
