Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will return to the runway after five years as the showstopper for designer Manish Malhotra’s show at the upcoming India Couture Week 2015.

The five-day fashion gala will open on July 29 in New Delhi.

The 40-year-old actress was last seen on the ramp for Malhotra’s 2010 show at the HDIL India Couture Week.
