Rich people problems: Suhana Khan praising Alia Bhatt for rewearing wedding outfit divides internet

Suhana Khan recently praised Alia Bhatt for her sustainable fashion approach. Suhana highlighted Alia's decision to re-wear her wedding saree at the National Film Awards, considering it an admirable and impactful message. Emphasising the role of influential figures in promoting sustainability, Suhana expressed that if Alia can repeat an outfit, others can follow suit, aligning with the growing emphasis on eco-friendly fashion choices.

"Recently, Alia wore her wedding saree again for the National Awards and I think as somebody with a platform, who has an influence, I thought that was incredible and a much-needed message," said The Archies star in a clip circulating on X, also reported by NDTV. She further stated, " And if Alia Bhatt can re-wear her wedding saree then we can also repeat an outfit for a party." However, her statement seems to not have gone down well with many. 

Labelled a "nepo baby," or a product of nepotism, to put it plainly, Suhana is the daughter of beloved superstar Shah Rukh Khan. When it comes to star kids, it is presumed that they have not struggled as much, with their claims of struggling often becoming memes. The same has happened previously with the likes of Ananya Panday. Sharing the clip of Suhana praising Alia, an X user wrote, "It is a struggle," with a salute emoji alongside.

"Rich, pampered, privileged folks' meaning of sustainability is not buying a new dress for every event and reusing it again once," noted another user of the microblogging site. Yet another sarcastically said, "I am watching this lying on my bed wearing a 5-year-old T-shirt which I'm wearing for the 146th time. Thought I contributed nothing to society...glad to know I already did a lot."

More users of the site piled on. "Rich people's problems: to repeat or not to repeat an outfit for a party," said one user, adding the eye-rolling emoji. "How sweet," noted another. "Wearing a saree again was a much-needed step towards sustainability. And what about all the leather bags and the makeup brands' products that are either made out of animal skins or tested on innocent rabbits?! But wait, repeating saree was a big step in sustainability."

However, a lot of people didn't quite agree with all the trolling. "I don't know what the question was but she's got a point. There are so many women who want a different outfit for every party they attend. They may not throw it out but it adds to the demand for new clothes," said one user, offering a different perspective. "It's a nice message. why are people so pressed?" questioned another. "It's not just about repeating an outfit, it's about not buying a new outfit for every event, which is a common practice among a lot of the upper-middle class and upper-class people in India. the message is for them."

Yet another X user added, "She’s talking about celebrities wearing outfits to red carpets and stuff. It’s a different thing than what we wear every day. Different conversation. Most times these clothes are not even celeb-owned but given by brands." The user also chided the original verified account that posted the clip, saying that "useless people" have a blue tick now. "She’s talking about celebrities, not us. Stop being dumb for no reason," doubled down yet another X user.
