Sambhavna responded by explaining that she had gained 15 kg and that none of her current clothes fit. She emphasized that people should focus on their personalities rather than their attire. She stated, “People will love us for who we are.”

Fans React To The Video

As the video circulated, many netizens criticized Sana, questioning her comments on Sambhavna’s clothing choices. One user remarked, “Sambhavna should avoid hanging out with such people,” while another described Sana’s remarks as “ridiculous,” expressing concern over her need to comment on Sambhavna’s outfit.

A Muslim viewer expressed disappointment, stating, “This is very bad behavior to display publicly. Respecting others’ beliefs is just as crucial as wanting your own to be respected. Even if meant as a joke, it sets a poor example, especially given the existing hostility toward us. Forcing anyone into uncomfortable situations is completely wrong.”

Others echoed similar sentiments, with comments highlighting that Sambhavna was already dressed modestly. One user mentioned, “Clothes should not be imposed on anyone. Sambhavna has every right to wear whatever she prefers; if there are concerns, it’s best not to invite them onto your show.”

In light of the backlash, one fan noted, “It seems Sana was merely suggesting alternatives if Sambhavna had mentioned feeling underdressed, rather than criticizing her choice to dress modestly. Still, the comments section is filled with negativity.”

Sana Khan left the entertainment industry after marrying Anas in November 2020. She had also erased much of her media presence, including posts and images from her acting career and travels.
