Janhvi Kapoor may have been the showstopper at the Lakmé Fashion Week held on March 29, 2025, but it was the model walking right behind her who ended up creating waves online. Meet Tamanna Katoch—the name that’s suddenly everywhere after her commanding ramp presence turned heads and set social media buzzing.

Who is Tamanna Katoch?
Based in New Delhi, Tamanna Katoch isn’t new to the world of fashion. According to her LinkedIn, she studied at Queen Mary’s School in Tis Hazari and later pursued Journalism and Mass Communication from Lingaya’s Lalita Devi Institute of Management & Sciences, graduating in 2018.
Tamanna has been a regular on India’s top runways. She’s previously walked for some of the most celebrated names in the fashion industry, including Manish Malhotra, Falguni Shane Peacock, Ankita Jain, and Sulakshna Monga, among others. Off the ramp, she’s also appeared in ad campaigns for mobile phone brands and popular fashion labels, quietly building a solid career in modeling.
A scroll through her Instagram reveals a mix of raw elegance and understated confidence.

She was also a contestant on India’s Next Top Model Season 4, where she showcased her versatility and flair for fashion.
