Ayeza Khan Faces Criticism for Allegedly Copying Alia Bhatt’s Style

Pakistani actress Ayeza Khan is known not only for her acting but also for her strong fashion sense. However, her recent Instagram photoshoot has landed her in hot water, with social media users accusing her of copying Bollywood star Alia Bhatt’s style.

What Sparked the Controversy

Ayeza shared pictures wearing an off-white saree with a matching high-neck blouse. Followers were quick to notice the look was strikingly similar to one worn by Alia Bhatt in June 2025 at a special screening of the film Umrao Jaan, where Alia paid tribute to veteran actress Rekha by wearing a pink saree with a matching high-neck blouse.

Social Media Reaction

The comparison went viral, with users criticizing Ayeza for imitating Alia’s style instead of creating her own fashion identity. Comments included:

• “Why is Ayeza Khan so influenced by Bollywood?”
• “When will she stop copying others? People have started calling her ‘Copycat.’”

This isn’t the first time a Pakistani celebrity has been called out for style imitation, but it has reignited conversations about originality and inspiration in the fashion choices of public figures.
