Sara Ali Khan Criticized for Not Crediting Pakistani Designer for Ambani Wedding Outfit

Sara Ali Khan is facing a wave of criticism from netizens for failing to credit the Pakistani designer behind her stunning ensemble at the Ambani wedding. The actress, known for her impeccable fashion sense, wore a vibrant lehenga designed by Pakistani fashion designer Iqbal Hussain to Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's lavish wedding on July 12. Despite the attention her outfit received, Sara did not mention or tag Hussain in her social media post, which has led to significant backlash.

In the video Sara shared, she can be seen twirling and posing in the exquisite lehenga. She tagged her stylists, hair and makeup team, and photographers, but conspicuously left out the designer. This omission did not go unnoticed, and social media users were quick to express their displeasure.

One user commented, "I've seen your previous posts where you've tagged the designer. I don't understand why you'd only tag the stylist this time. Regardless of whether he's from Pakistan or anywhere else, it's his hard work and design. Credit where it's due." Another added, "If you're hesitant to tag the Pakistani designer whose clothes you're wearing, then why wear them at all? Every designer deserves recognition. It's unprofessional, Sara." A third user emphasized, "Have the courage to mention the designer, whether he's from Pakistan, America, Japan, or anywhere else in the world."

The controversy has also led some users to tag Iqbal Hussain, encouraging him to speak out about the issue. However, as of now, the designer has not responded.

Sara's outfit for the Ambani wedding was nothing short of regal. She donned an elegant ivory organza pishwas, a long, flowing tunic with intricate Maori embroidery on the neckline, sleeves, and flared skirt. The ensemble was further enhanced by a golden jaal with elaborate zardozi embroidery and applique work, adding a luxurious touch to the traditional attire. The design showcased rich craftsmanship and cultural heritage, making it a standout piece at the event.

Despite the beauty of her ensemble, the lack of credit to Iqbal Hussain has overshadowed the positive reactions, leading to a broader conversation about the importance of acknowledging the hard work and creativity of designers, regardless of their nationality.
