Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut recently took to Instagram to criticise fashion bloggers for inaccurately labelling her traditional Ladakhi Goncha as an 'Anarkali.' In a strong-worded Instagram story, the Queen actress called out the lack of cultural awareness among the bloggers, terming their oversight as 'unfair and culturally inappropriate'.
Sharing a screenshot of a news article that misidentified her outfit, Kangana expressed her disappointment. She wrote, "Absolutely embarrassing that these so-called fashion bloggers have no knowledge, understanding, or consideration for mountain people, their culture, or traditions. Everything is not Anarkali."
"Not a single article called this dress traditional Ladakhi Goncha. It is unfair and culturally inappropriate," she added.
Kangana's traditional look
Recently, the actress-turned-politician posted pictures from her new cafe and restaurant, The Mountain Story, located in Manali. Known for her love for traditional Indian wear, Kangana stunning snapshots from the picturesque property with the caption, "Food coma coming your way!!"
In the photo, Kangana was seen wearing a beautiful green Ladakhi Goncha adorned with colourful floral patterns. The intricate embroidery along the neckline, torso, and hem complemented the outfit's elegant structure.
Take a look at her photos here:
The Ladakhi Goncha is a traditional outfit worn by both men and women in Ladakh and neighboring Himalayan regions. Historically, it has been an essential part of the local culture, crafted from wool to provide warmth in the cold climate.
Meanwhile, Kangana's cafe is all set to open on February 14.
Sharing an inside video introducing fans to The Mountain Story, the actress wrote on Instagram a few days back, "A childhood dream comes alive, my little cafe in the lap of Himalayas. The Mountain Story, it’s a love story. #TheMountainStory Opening 14th February." The cafe is in Manali, some 66 miles from her hometown.
The 38-year-old actress also shared pictures of the restaurant and stated, "The mountains are my bones, the rivers my veins, the forests are my thoughts, and the stars are my dreams." In another post, she added, "The mountain is calling, and I must answer."
Earlier in 2021, Kangana revealed that she was 'taking baby steps in to FnB industry.'
