New Delhi: Shah Rukh Khan's daughter Suhana Khan recently praised Alia Bhatt and called her a role model. During a promo event for 'The Archies', the 23-year-old called Alia 'incredible' for repeating her wedding saree. A video from the event has been doing the rounds on 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 but making new garments creates waste which impacts our biodiversity and environment. So, it's very important," she added.

Many bashed Suhana Khan on Reddit. Some wrote how ignorant she was about the same to talk about 1% of society. 

 

"Re-wearing a saree that costs millions is sustainable for them. Good!” A user wrote. “Repeating clothes is sustainability, I contributed to biodiversity and the environment all my life and many fold until the clothes color fade or worn out," another said.

"She's talking about the richest here, that's probably 1% of society.” A comment read.

Alia Bhatt at National Awards

Alia Bhatt surprised everyone when she wore her wedding saree at the National Awards ceremony. Designed by ace fashion designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee, the ivory organza saree with tilla work caught everyone's attention. 

Alia received the Best Actor National Award for her film 'Gangubai Kathiawadi'. 

Speaking about repeating her wedding saree, Alia Bhatt said, "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.”
