Manish Malhotra on Working With Gen Z: ‘Dialogue Matters More Than Authority’

Manish Malhotra is a designer who has established ties across three generations of Bollywood. Manish Malhotra holds that in order to stay in Bollywood, one needs to adjust and team up. Manish Malhotra has gotten to work with some major stars and their children as well. Here are his views regarding the young generation in Bollywood.

Manish Malhotra says, "I've worked with Chunky Pandey and now Ananya Panday. From Sridevi to Janhvi Kapoor, Shah Rukh Khan to Suhana Khan. He believes this journey is only possible if you don't approach work thinking you know better because you've worked with the previous generation." Manish emphasized that experience should drive dialogue, not authority.

Sharing his perspective on working with Gen Z actors and star kids, Malhotra said, "The moment you stop working together, the process breaks down. Today's generation responds to dialogue, not instructions."
