Suhana Khan is currently busy with the promotions of her debut film, The Archies. During a recent publicity event of the film, the actress spoke about sustainability and the value of role models. Citing the example of Alia Bhatt, she lauded her for re-wearing her wedding saree at the National Awards felicitation ceremony. “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.” Suhana said.

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.
