Former Indian badminton star Jwala Gutta criticized the attire designed for the Indian contingent at the Paris Olympics, calling it "mediocre, shabby, and uncomfortable." In a social media post, Gutta expressed disappointment, particularly with the saree design, which she said was poorly fitted and uncomfortable for athletes. She also criticized the color and print choices, suggesting that the designer missed an opportunity to showcase Indian culture through embroidery or hand painting. The uniforms, designed by Tarun Tahiliani, featured ikat-inspired prints and aimed to reflect modern Indian ethos but have faced backlash for their execution.
