What Jwala Gutta Has To Say About India Outfit In Paris
After being trolled for creating the opening ceremony for India in basic kurta sets and sarees with digital prints and tricolor details, Indian badminton player and Arjun Awardee Jwala Gutta in her post on X revealed that the Indian athletes were uncomfortable due to the bad fit of the blouses.
She has called the uniforms a “huge disappointment”. When Indian athletes won hearts with their performance at the Paris Olympics, Tarun Tahiliani had to face criticism for his poor design of the athletes’ uniforms and attire for the Olympics.

Jwala further criticised the colour and the print of the outfit, she wrote on X, “And second the colour and the print was so opposite of beautiful Indian!!! There was an opportunity for the designer to display the art of our culture through embroidery or hand paint!! It was a work of absolute mediocrity and looked shabby!!! I really hope the sports family stops compromising on quality for our sportspersons looks on court and off court!!!!”
After not much of thinking..
The garments which was made for the Indian contingent participating in Olympics this time has been a huge disappointment!! (Especially when the designer was announced I had huge expectations)

In her post pointing out the bad fit of the blouses, she added, “First not all girls know how to wear a saree…why didn’t the designer use this common sense and make pre draped saree(which is in current trend) The girls looked uncomfortable the blouse was of bad fit!!”
The post prompted many reactions from the citizens. Agreeing with Gutta’s comment, one user wrote, “I agree. Absolutely drab & lifeless.. It’s the Summer Olympics.. Bright colors should’ve been the choice.. Our contingent looked more like Rajyasabha politicians. The designer missed this Golden opportunity to showcase our fabric.”

While another added, “The designer for India’s uniform for Paris created a design for mourning. The committee that approved of such a design seemed to imagine that mourning wear is what Indians should wear.”
