Jwala Gutta, a female badminton player who is part of the 117-member Indian squad participating in the Paris Olympics, has criticized the clothes made for the opening ceremony.

Olympics games where athletes represent their country attract fans with their culture, but Indian badminton player Jwala Gutta has criticized the clothes made for the Paris Olympics.

Tweeting on social networking site X (Twitter), he wrote, “After much thought! I am compelled to write now, the costumes the designer made for the Indian contingent participating in the Paris Games were totally against expectations, which was a disappointment”.

He wrote, "Why didn't the designer use common sense that nowadays pre-draped sarees are worn, not all girls know how to wear a saree." Similarly, the saree blouses did not fit while the other color and print was completely opposite to the Indian representation. There was an opportunity for the designer to highlight our culture through embroidery or hand paint”.

Who designed the uniform of the Indian team?

Renowned Indian designer Tarun Tahliani designed the uniforms for Team India, for which expensive cotton khadi was used.
