Rupali Ganguly Calls Out Alia Bhatt Over Gucci Leather Outfit At Milan Event: Is This What You Support?

Rupali Ganguly has drawn attention after sharing an Instagram story that questions Alia Bhatt's leather outfit from Milan Fashion Week. The television actor did not write any caption or comment. Even so, the choice to repost the critical video is being read as a pointed stand that matches Rupali Ganguly's known views on animal welfare.

The video in Rupali Ganguly's story breaks down Alia Bhatt's Milan look and links it to animal cruelty. A man in the clip asks, "Is this what you support, Alia?" The narrator then alleges that the ensemble is crafted from "3-month-old baby calves and 4-month-old baby lambs," raising ethical concerns around luxury fashion choices.

The clip, originally posted by a user named Sai Lohith, focuses on Alia Bhatt's supposed use of leather. The speaker challenges both the outfit and Alia Bhatt's public image. The man in the video further says, "Your cat, Edward, how would you feel if someone murdered your son and used his skin to make bags and shoes?" The monologue also calls out the "Coexist by Alia Bhatt" initiative.

Rupali Ganguly has often spoken about kindness towards animals and has criticised cruelty in different forms. In an interview with The Times of India, Rupali Ganguly shared, "I always say that I have the spirit of a tigress, the soul of an elephant, and the loyalty of a dog." The actor also said, "I can't function without my fur babies; they keep me sane."

Because Rupali Ganguly added no text while reposting the video, the intent has been inferred by viewers. Many see the share as a quiet but sharp question aimed at Alia Bhatt's wardrobe decision. For followers familiar with Rupali Ganguly's long-standing advocacy, the move appears consistent with earlier positions against harm to animals.
