Be it a jet black sherwani in Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Ghum or a well fitted suit and hat in Great Gatsby, Amitabh Bachchan can pull off any style with class and this has been validated by none other than the famous Indian designer Manesh Malhotra, reported The Indian Express.

The designer, who displayed some of his designs during the sneak-peek of Lakme Fashion Week (LFW) to be held next week, stated that Big B is the 'most iconic' person in B-Town: "Mr. Bachchan is the most timeless, fantastic, brilliant, stylish and iconic person that the Indian film industry can ever speak about."

Appreciating his sense of style, Malhotra who had designed for Amitabh in Karan Johar's Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna further praised the veteran actor: "A stylish man whatever be his age and wherever he comes from, his style never goes out of fashion. Fashion changes but style never goes out of fashion."

Commenting on the style of the current generation of actors, Malhotra said that some have 'inherent' styles: “I think, today, when it comes to a Shah Rukh Khan or young actors like Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh or Saif Ali Khan, they all have such inherent, interesting styles. And for a collection that is young, I think Ranbir Kapoor is ideal and he’s our young superstar."
