Suhana Khan lauds Alia Bhatt for re-using her wedding saree at National Awards: ‘It was a much-needed message’

She added, “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.”

Alia Bhatt received the Best Actor (Female) award at the 69th National Film Awards for her role in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Gangubai Kathiawadi. She shared the award with Kriti Sanon for her role in Mimi. Alia chose to wear her ethereal wedding saree by Sabyasachi at the felicitation ceremony, surprising her fans with the elegant choice.

Talking about repeating her wedding saree, Alia had told 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.”
