Sufi Motiwala’s Fashion Take on a Pakistani Bride Backfires Big Time!

Once again, fashion influencer Sufi Motiwala has found himself at the centre of controversy, this time for his remarks on Pakistani actress Mawra Hocane’s wedding lehenga. The outfit was criticised for its fabric choice, which was labelled as “tacky” and “questionable” in one of his fashion reviews. However, what seemed like a regular critique quickly turned into a heated debate. It was pointed out that the ensemble carried deep sentimental value. The lehenga had been designed using heirloom pieces, including the bride’s mother-in-law’s wedding dupatta. Supporters of Mawra, including Pakistani influencers and fashion stylists, strongly defended the outfit, emphasizing the cultural and emotional significance behind such traditional attire. In response, Sufi was called out for failing to recognize the personal value of bridal wear, leading to widespread criticism.

This isn’t the first time the influencer has faced backlash. Just last year, another controversy was stirred up when a private message sent to social media personality Uorfi Javed was publicly exposed. The message, which Uorfi called “disgusting,” led to immediate outrage. Sufi attempted a defence, claiming his account had been hacked, but the damage had already been done. Social media users were quick to call him out, questioning his approach to online interactions and fashion commentary.

In the past, similar criticism has been received for Sufi Motiwala’s blunt remarks on celebrity fashion, especially wedding outfits. Several influencers received his reviews, where their choices were dismissed as “over-accessorized” or lacking in aesthetic appeal. While honest fashion critique is welcomed by many, the line between constructive feedback and unnecessary harshness has been blurred. With repeated instances of backlash, a conversation has sparked about the responsibility of influencers and the impact of their words in an age where online opinions spread faster than ever.
