In Manish Malhotra’s horoscope, Mars, with Ruchak Mahapurusha Yoga, is in conjunction with Rahu and Venus, so he was destined to enjoy the success and fame to enter the film industry when male designers were uncommon, making his entry mark a new age in fashion and the film industry.
Rahu with Mars causes an unconventional approach. As a designer, he challenged producers with multiple questions about the storyline, to have more than just a glamorous brief, which initially irritated them. He was good at research and went after the precise details required for historical films and costume design, making his outfits stand out. Mars with Rahu and Venus helped him achieve great success and create history in the fashion industry. He does not have a publicly acknowledged romantic partner, and in his horoscope, Saturn and Venus’s status indicate a challenging love life.
