Netizens criticize Sara Ali Khan for not crediting Pakistani designer

Netizens were not pleased with Sara Ali Khan, criticizing her for not crediting the designer behind her outfit despite showcasing his work on social media. One user remarked, “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 commenter said, “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 added, “Have the courage to mention the designer, whether he’s from Pakistan, America, Japan, or anywhere else in the world.”

Netizens also tagged the designer, urging him to speak out for himself. As of now, Iqbal Hussain has not responded to the controversy.
