Malhotra shared the story on a recent episode of JioHotstar’s Pitch to Get Rich, where actor Akshay Kumar is also a panellist. During a discussion on sustainability in fashion, creator Dipa Khosla said, “The next generation of consumers, Gen Z, are very fashion-aware. They notice who reuses or recycles outfits. As someone whose job is to dress up, I think re-wearing is the perfect role model move.” She cited Alia Bhatt’s sangeet lehenga as an example, prompting Malhotra to share its backstory.
