This Eid, we saw a variety of looks and a shift in the fashion scene; some celebrities were praised and admired for their outfits, while others were heavily criticised for their choices.
One of them is Ali Zafar, the Jhoom singer, who was heavily criticised on Instagram and Facebook for his Eid fit, and recently took to X to issue a sarcastic apology to his fans.
Zafar posted a video of himself watering plants in a red ajarak dhoti and shirt on Eid day 1. Since then, his Instagram messages have been full of hilarious trolling remarks.
After the dhoti video, Zafar’s photo of him standing with his wife wearing a sheer kurta went viral, with comments pouring in asking him to wear a banyaan and whether it was a stunt to grab people’s attention.
The Chal Dil Merey singer took on X to release a sarcastic apology, stating to them for causing one of the most pressing national and global issues that has affected everyone’s life. He further stated that he won’t repeat these grave mistakes, further thanking them for their attention to this matter.
I would like to apologise to the nation for wearing a see through kurta without a banyan, and for the very serious act of watering plants in a traditional Ajrak dhoti on Eid. I understand this has been one of the most pressing national and global issues affecting everyone’s lives…

People loved his sarcastic apology and further wrote on his page that they won’t accept the apology until they see him actually wearing a banyaan, to which Zafar replied by sharing a pic of him wearing a banyaan and working out in the gym.
