Suhana Khan praises Alia Bhatt for repeating her wedding saree and promoting sustainability

A video from the event has been doing the rounds on the social media platform Reddit.

In the video, Suhana says, "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."

"She did that and she took a stand towards sustainability. If Alia Bhatt can re-wear her wedding saree then we can also repeat an outfit for a party. We don't need to buy a new outfit. We don't realise that making new garments creates waste which impacts our biodiversity and environment. So, it's very important," she added.

Suhana Khan was slammed for lauding Alia Bhatt over repeating a saree and calling it a sustainable gesture. A section of netizens said that a lot of people re-wear their outfits and such a statement doesn't hold any value in sustainability

Another added, "She makes Sara sound like Einstein..."

The third one said, " Ananya deserves justice.."

The fourth one mentioned, "I am pretty sure Aalia Bhatt will now start getting awards for wearing a saree twice."

Alia Bhatt repeated her wedding saree at the National Film Awards

At the national awards ceremony, Alia Bhatt wore the saree from her wedding day with Ranbir Kapoor. She received the Best Actress National Award for her film, Gangubai Kathiawadi. She shared the honour with Kriti Sanon for her 2021 film, Mimi.

Talking about repeating her wedding saree, Alia told the news agency PTI, "Whenever there is a big event or big moment coming up, you start preparing for it... I instinctively felt like, 'I'm going to re-wear my wedding saree'. The saree was ideated and done beautifully by Sabyasachi Mukherjee but it was a lot of me, white and gold combination and certain symbols. It was the garment I felt most myself in. And it was a really special moment for a different reason. A special outfit can be worn for a special occasion more than once."
