Sara Ali Khan Denies Owning Designer Clothes, But Doubt Persists Among Fans
There is a new trend among celebrities to pretend to be middle class. This is especially common among celebrities who charge high fees for their work. They may do this to appear more relatable to their fans, or to distance themselves from their privileged backgrounds.
One celebrity who has been accused of this is Sara Ali Khan. She is a Bollywood actress who comes from a wealthy family. However, she often posts photos and videos on social media that make her seem like she is from a middle-class background. For example, she has been seen eating street food and taking public transportation.
In her latest interview for Vogue India, Sara Ali Khan talked about how she lacks certain resources, and how this “deprivation” makes her relatable to her fans. The resource in question, as it turns out, is designer clothes. “I don’t have a single pair of designer clothes in my wardrobe,” Khan said. “I wear my honesty with more pride than any designer clothes.”
Khan went on to explain that she believes that people are seeking honesty and authenticity from celebrities. She said that she wants to be relatable to her fans, and that she believes that her lack of designer clothes helps her to achieve this. “I don’t want to be an aspirational, elusive, star-like aura,” Khan said. “I want to be who I am.”

Girl you paid for Columbia out of pocket for a degree you don’t even use and don’t even get me started on that Nawabi inheritance waiting for you. https://t.co/cDDlMMB0Rg

I like Sara, but I don’t understand this new trend of uber-rich celebrities trying to cosplay as cheap or thrifty. You can’t help the wealth you’re born in, truly, but the least you can do is not use some people’s unavoidable thriftiness as your aesthetic. https://t.co/YCB5hYVW9n
