"It was a fan meet, not a wedding reception."
Yumna Zaidi is facing criticism for her Indian look at her latest meet and greet in Washington DC. Fans believed she was “overdressed” for such an event.
As Meerab and Murtasim in Tere Bin, Yumna and Wahaj Ali captured the hearts of audiences with their on-screen chemistry.
Fans eagerly anticipate their reunion in Tere Bin 2, yearning to witness the magic of their collaboration once again on screen.
Currently, the lead couple is embarking on a tour across the United States, engaging with fans through meet and greets in various cities.
However, a recent meetup in Washington stirred controversy due to Yumna Zaidi’s fashion choice.
During the event, Wahaj exuded elegance in a sophisticated suit, while Yumna opted for a traditional saree paired with ethnic jewellery.
Her look was complemented by classic makeup and hairstyle.
However, Yumna’s choice of attire faced criticism from fans, who expressed discontent with what they perceived as an overdressed appearance.
Many fans claimed her attire seemed more fitting for a lavish wedding reception rather than a casual meetup.
A user said: “See Yumna what people are saying in the comment section. It was a fan meet, not a wedding reception.
“Why so much jewellery? You need to take a charge to say no.
“This backwards 70s hairstyle and horrible makeup. I don’t know how you really let this happen. For God’s sake don’t post this outfit picture.”
Another questioned: “What an ewww look? Like is it a meet and greet look or is she going to attend some 80s, 90s wedding?”
A netizen remarked: “Sis is going to attend her brother’s wedding.”
One asked: “Why is she wearing tons of jewellery with this shimmery saree?”
Critics of Yumna’s outfit voiced concerns that her ensemble exuded Indian ‘bahu’ drama vibes.
A user commented: “She looks like a Star Plus serial bahu. Maybe she is aspiring for the role of Gopi bahu.”
One asked:
“Why is she looking like an Indian Bahu? Yumna kindly fire your stylist immediately.”
Disappointment resonated among Pakistani fans.
They felt that Yumna missed an opportunity to represent her country internationally by opting for Indian-style dress and jewellery.
A user questioned: “Was Yumna representing India? From her saree to jewellery, makeup to hairstyle, looked like Indian soap bahu.”
One asked: “Why are you promoting Indian culture aunty jee?”
The backlash against Yumna Zaidi’s fashion choices underscored the significance fans place on celebrities as cultural representatives, especially on a global stage.
The incident ignited discussions about the impact of attire on perceptions of national identity and cultural representation.
