Mumbai, June 3 After Kangana Ranaut called herself a "victim of capitalism" and bid adieu to the "airport look," author Shobhaa De hailed the Bollywood actress for exposing the fashion industry.
De also said that it is about time a star spoke up against the "nonsense" airport look.
De tweeted: "About time a star spoke up and debunked the 'airport look' nonsense. Thanks for frankly exposing the pressure exerted by foreign brands exploiting desi insecurity at the expense of our crafts communities."
Kangana on Friday took to her Instagram stories, where she shared a slew of pictures from her airport.
She took the credit for starting the trend of the airport look in India. She shared a string of airport looks and captioned the picture slide: "Only person to blame for starting the stupid trend of airport looks."
She then tagged herself as a "Victim of capitalism."
"Brainwashed by magazine editors and fashion industry to look a western woman so that I only fill the pockets of international designers. Ashamed to repeat clothes always buying without any care about the impact of my choices on the environment."
"While I act like a bimbo, the system hails me as a fashionista to encourages me to promote more international brands while my own people like weavers and handicrafts men dying slow and steady death. Then they shrewdly start to price tag everything I wear making it a vanity issue for me and guess what I fall for the trap now more than style it's about brands even for a genuinely stylish person," she added.
Kangana said that fashion brands make "you work for them for free by just sending clothes and bags they start to hijack cultures and tradition of an entire civilisation."
