Mumbai, March 6 (IANS) Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi Saturday took a casual walk on the runway for designer Digvijay Singh’s show at the Lakme Fashion Week and admitted that he was very nervous while sashaying down the ramp.

“I didn’t have butterflies in my stomach, it was much more than that. I was very very nervous as I have never walked on the ramp for a bigger platform like this. I have always heard about mal-functions on the runway, I was just hoping that I don’t make news for another malfunction,” Vivek told IANS after the post show conference here.

Before this, the actor had walked the ramp with actor Suniel Shetty for Lycra Images Fashion Awards in 2008 before the release of his film “Mission Istanbul”.

So the first question Vivek asked the reporters here was “How was my walk on the ramp?”

The reply he got was “Cute”.

Dressed in an organic crème kurta-pajama, the actor took a very casual walk on the runway as he kept looking at the crowd - smiling, waving and acknowledging his friends and family sitting in the audience.

Looking very relaxed and cute on the ramp, the actor was here to support designer Digvijay for going “the organic” way for his collection.

Digvijay has associated himself with Bhu:sattva, an organic brand, to develop fashion that can work for the upliftment of weavers and artisans.

For the collection, organic fabrics like a mix of silk and cotton and natural herbal dyes were used to churn out a collection that was high on style and looked comfortable as well.

The hues used for the collection where whites, reds, purples, greys and greens with a tinge of brick reds and maroons, beiges, mustards and blacks.
