The actress has been heavily criticised on social media for donning a stunning lehenga designed by Pakistani fashion designer Iqbal Hussain but not giving him credit in her post. Sara wore the vibrant outfit to Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s lavish wedding on July 12. Sharing a video of herself twirling and posing in the lehenga at the event, she tagged her stylist, hair and makeup team and photographer, but did not mention or tag the original designer, Iqbal Hussain.

Netizens criticize Sara Ali Khan for not giving credit to Pakistani designers
Netizens were not happy with Sara Ali Khan and criticised her for not naming the designer of her outfit despite showing off the designer’s work on social media. One user commented, “I have seen you tag the designer in your previous posts. I don’t understand why you are only tagging the stylist this time. It doesn’t matter if he is from Pakistan or anywhere else, it’s his hard work and design. Credit is due,” commented another. “If you hesitate to tag the Pakistani designer of the clothes you are wearing, then why wear the clothes? All designers should be recognised. It’s unprofessional, Sara,” a third user added. “Have the courage to name the designer regardless of whether he is from Pakistan, America, Japan or anywhere else in the world,” he said.
Netizens also tagged the designer, urging him to speak out himself. So far, Iqbal Hussain has not responded to the controversy.
