His breakthrough came with Rangeela, for which his contemporary costumes for Madhuri Dixit earned him the Filmfare Award for Best Costume Design. During the 1990s and early 2000s, Malhotra became one of Bollywood’s most prominent costume designers, creating notable looks for Sridevi in Gumrah, Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, and the ensemble cast of Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.
