Bollywood starlets Sara Ali Khan and Khushi Kapoor once again proved why star kids are the troll targets, failed in acting failed in Ramps? Sara Ali Khan and Khushi Kapoor delivered one of the most cringe-worthy ramp performances ever witnessed at India Couture Week—and social media absolutely didn’t hold back. Viral walk videos quickly turned both actresses into objects of ridicule, as netizens tore into their "sleepwalking" energy and lifeless runway presence.
Sara, showing off a rose-gold lehenga by Aisha Rao—adorned with palms and flowers—dazzled visually but underwhelmed entirely on the walk. While the outfit deserved applause, the actress failed to deliver. Critics slammed her for an ultra-slow gait and uninspired facial expressions. One user quipped: “Who’s hiring her to walk? Absolute disaster.” Another snapped: “Why the random thumkas and poses? It’s embarrassing.”
Khushi Kapoor, walking for Rimzim Dadu in a sculpted outfit inspired by Gujarat’s crafts, somehow looked even more bored. As trolls piled up, someone wrote she had “uncle with arthritis” energy, while others called it a "zombie walk," questioning why celebrities are even featured on the runway instead of professional models. Comments like “Just walking without direction” and “Show the clothes, not the celebrities” circulated rapidly.
These brutal reactions aren’t just about runway technique—they’re emblematic of Bollywood’s dependence on star power over substance. Sara’s recent portrayal in Metro… In Dino was decent, but clearly, being a showstopper demands more than a pretty outfit. Meanwhile, Khushi’s film Nadaaniyan tanked so hard that her ramp flop now feels like predictable fallout and both the actors were trolled for their poor performances.
What’s infuriating is the continued preference for “nepo babies” in these fashion arenas, while trained and skilled professional models are relegated to the sidelines. One netizen harshly typed: “Better stick to models than hiring these nepo babies as showstoppers.” The same trolls reminded fans of Suhana and Shanaya—the usual suspect star kids—also stiffened their ramps with equal awkwardness, justifying the endless angst.
Fashion week isn't about fanbase or relative star power—it’s about presenting garments with glitz, grace, and confidence. Sara and Khushi offered none of that. They looked like mannequins on autopilot, spoiling the designers’ couture moment for everyone watching.
Sara Ali Khan and Khushi Kapoor weren’t showstoppers—they were show-stoppers-in-the-worst-way. Their zombie-like walk exposed the ugly reality that Bollywood still values lineage over talent. If lethargic modeling were a sport, they’d win gold, but it’s fashion—they failed. Designers deserve real runway professionals—not camera-hungry actors desperately pretending they belong.
