Overview
- Rupali Ganguly, who shared the clip on Instagram Stories Monday, offered no caption, and coverage read the move as a quiet rebuke given her animal-welfare stance.
- The video by creator Sai Lohith alleged Alia Bhatt’s Milan Fashion Week ensemble used leather from three-month-old calves and four-month-old lambs.
- It also targeted her Gucci Horsebit 1955 bag and accused the brand of harming animals, using an emotional appeal that referenced Bhatt’s pet cat, Edward.
- The clip called Bhatt’s Coexist initiative inconsistent with her fashion choices, and Bhatt had not issued a public response in the reports published Tuesday.
- The episode shows how a simple repost can fuel scrutiny of celebrity brand ties and could increase pressure on ambassadors to address sourcing and materials.
