Kangana Ranaut says 'bye bye airport looks'; blames fashion industry for neglecting Indian heritage

Kangana Ranaut, the Bollywood actress known for her bold statements, has taken credit for initiating the airport look trend in India. In a recent Instagram Stories post, she shared a picture of her 2018 airport look, claiming to be the sole person responsible for starting the "stupid trend." The picture showcased Kangana in a stylish lavender Dior dress, accompanied by a soft pink Prada overcoat, black heels, and oversized sunglasses. At that time, her fashion choice garnered praise from many.

However, Kangana didn't stop there. She went on to express her remorse and criticized the fashion industry's influence on her choices. She called herself a "victim of capitalism" and admitted to being brainwashed by magazine editors and the fashion industry to emulate a western woman. Kangana expressed her concern about the negative impact of her choices on the environment and the neglect of Indian weavers and handicrafts due to her obsession with international brands.

In her social media posts, Kangana accused fashion brands of exploiting her by providing free clothes and bags in exchange for promoting their products. She highlighted the issue of cultural appropriation, claiming that these brands hijack traditions and cultures without considering their significance. Kangana expressed her disappointment in falling into the trap of valuing brands over genuine style, and criticized the system that praises her as a fashionista while local artisans suffer.

By sharing a collage of her various airport looks, Kangana questioned the representation of Indian women and pondered how American women are perceived. In a farewell to the airport look trend, she declared that it was time to prioritize the benefits for fellow Indians rather than succumbing to the influence of brands. Kangana vowed to be more conscious of her clothing choices and their impact on the community.

This introspective and critical stance marks a departure from the glamorous airport looks that Kangana was known for.
