The actor has now responded to this criticism at a press meet, an Onmanorama report said.

When Amala Paul was asked about criticism that she received, Amala stated that she only wore what she was comfortable in. She also stated that the issue is with the way cameras shot her.

Contrary to what peole think, Amala made it clear that students were not uncomfortable with her dress. "The students were totally comfortable with what I wore. I wear all types of clothing, be it traditional or western. By wearing that dress, I wanted to instill confidence among students regarding their dressing choices."
