Reacting to the trolling, Kangana took to Instagram Stories and argued that fashion is a personal form of expression rather than something designed to satisfy public expectations.

“Fashion and style is a self-expression. It is one’s own interpretation of life and attitude. No woman owes anything to anyone. Ash looks great!!” Kangana wrote.

She also pointed out that audiences should become more accustomed to seeing older women confidently walking red carpets and embracing fashion on their own terms.

Kangana’s comments have drawn praise from many netizens.
