Is wearing necklaces of other religions the new trend nowadays? It seems it is and Sarwat Gillani has also jumped on the bandwagon now.

What’s The Cross For?

The Churails’ star was the host for FPW21 and was dressed for the occasion in a  monochrome outfit. Though Sarwat Gillani has always remained a class apart with her sophisticated fits, it seems it has always been the work of stylists only.

There is a new stylist in town – Mona Rameez – who styled her for the event in such a way that Gillani has become the source of trolling. As part of her accessories, Sarwat Gillani was wearing a large cross of Christianity on her neck. Naturally, people aren’t pleased and have much to say!

What Are People Saying?

The netizens have not come down slow when it comes to expressing their opinion over it. They are not only extremely upset about her wearing the necklace on its own, but many are also upset over how disrespectful it is. 

Rihanna has recently been called out by the whole of India for wearing the Ganesh god’s necklace. Is Sarwat Gillani deserving and most importantly, ready to be called out by the majority of the west who is a Christian?

The cross necklace is not an accessory— it has value and sentiments and sacrality attached to it.

Are Celebrities Puppets?

It is very likely that the responsibility for this act will be shifted onto the stylist. It always has been whenever any celebrity has come under fire for any one of their outfits. But that compels us to ponder over the question that is celebrities merely puppets whose strings are pulled by stylists?

The responsibility for this disrespect must also be borne by Sarwat Gillani herself who agreed to wear that.

Fall From Grace

First, Sarwat Gillani was widely praised for her progressive role in the drama series Churails. However, after that, she was heavily criticized for her statement that “I don’t believe I’m a feminist”. People were appalled by the ignorance and hypocrisy in the statement. 

Now it seems the start has landed in hot waters again with this act and we’re wondering whether Gillani is experiencing a fall from grace.
