Tamanna has been a regular on India’s top runways
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.
While Janhvi dazzled in her designer ensemble, Tamanna’s striking walk, statuesque beauty, and effortless poise made her an instant internet favourite. Fashion enthusiasts and netizens alike couldn’t stop raving about her, with many declaring her the real star of the show.
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. While she keeps her presence relatively low-key—her bio reads, “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication”—she has amassed a loyal following of over 72.7K followers. She was also a contestant on India’s Next Top Model Season 4, where she showcased her versatility and flair for fashion.
The Internet’s New Muse
On April 1, Tamanna shared a video clip of her Lakmé Fashion Week ramp walk—and the internet couldn’t get enough. Within hours, likes and comments flooded in. Actor Mrunal Thakur chimed in with a “Wow, you killed it, T :)” while others showered her with praise.
Comments like “Let’s pretend there was no Janhvi,” and “Your walk was on fire! 
” reflected the collective sentiment. One follower summed it up best: “Nobody saw Janhvi, we all saw you, girl.” Another gushed, “Your ramp walk looks so effortless! It’s a pleasure to watch.”
With a career that’s already impressive and a moment like this pushing her into the spotlight, Tamanna Katoch might just be India’s next breakout supermodel.
