Priyanka might be stunning and all kinds of exotic but she often tries too hard to stand out with her style. She has an incredible height and stellar curves and yet Priyanka often fails to impress the fashion police. While her fans blame her stylist, some people blame the actress for having questionable fashion sense. So, what are her most embarrassing fashion fails?
Just too bleh
Priyanka showed up in the Screen Actors Guild award in a very random gown which had bizarre pink embroidery and it did nothing to highlight her features. Not only was her wardrobe criticised, but haters noted that her hairdo was too dated and her makeup was too blah.
Why doesn't she get it right?
For one of her New York Fashion Week outings, Priyanka chose the weirdest combos. She chose a printed top with a faux fur jacket and the colours clashed with each other. Moreover, she wore too much makeup which ruined her ensemble.
Is that a tablecloth?
Remember when Priyanka wore a questionable plaid outfit and critics panned her? Priyanka might have styled herself for this one and opted for a really ridiculous printed number. The colour palette and the height of this number both went against Priyanka's silhouette.
Just so grey
For one of her Hollywood outings, Priyanka chose a totally mellow grey number which was a very wrong choice. Not only did the number made her look boxy and larger than she is but also did nothing for her skin tone.
Just too much
Fans have often slammed Priyanka for trying too hard to look cool. For one of her errand runs, Priyanka chose a crop top and a leather skirt. What could have made for a very stylish number, made Priyanka look quite tacky.
Why so yellow?
Priyanka recently wore a Prabal Gurung number while promoting Quantico in Manhattan which made her look like a grandma. Not only was the colour unflattering on her but the dress covered up her curves and made her look older and fatter.
Print overload, much?
For a Global Citizen concert, Priyanka chose a short printed number and knee-high boots cut from the same print. The number stood out in the oddest fashion and Priyanka ended up looking quite ridiculous. Priyanka was obviously going for a quirky millennial look, but it’s always better if she sticks to basic fashion rules, considering how wrong she can be.
Too blue, too bleh
For the premiere of her debut Hollywood film, Priyanka chose something remarkable tawdry. The blue ill-cut gown looked like it belongs at a thrift store, lus Priyanka paired it up with a really plain hairdo. She not only ended up looking rounder but also looked older amid a sea of younger actors.
She wore mafia red
In one of her latest outings, Priyanka opted for an all-red ensemble, which was a three-piece suit. Not only did it look like she was wearing pyjamas and a coat, but she made the wrong choice for going such an unflattering suit, especially at peak summer.
Almost too golden?
Remember her Golden Globe disaster when she turned up looking like the trophy herself? Priyanka has a habit of picking an outrageous colour and going overboard with it, but it often doesn’t work for her. Layering and colour-blocking is obviously her friend, and monochrome is not.
Too shiny, too confused
Priyanka really needs to hire a new stylist as her current one does not get her style. For a recent outing to Jimmy Fallon’s talk show, she wore a very blingy number which covered her up and ended up looking like a sack. Priyanka often goes for the wrong designers and picks out pieces which don’t look like they are couture.
No to double denim
Double denim is some women’s best friend but it’s not for everyone. Priyanka opted for these denim block number which had a weird slit and was cut all wrong. Not only did it not fit her well, but made her look out of shape. Plus, she had too much makeup on and it ruined her whole look.
Hell bent for leather
Priyanka clearly loves making statements but some statements are not for everybody, For an errand run in New York, Priyanka chose a leather dress which ended up looking comical, Not only was it inappropriate for day wear but Priyanka couldn’t pull it off.
Why the ‘80s bling?
For one of her promotional events Priyanka wore something which she obviously wasn’t comfortable in. When it comes to sparkly short dresses, comfort is key. But Priyanka’s dress was not just too short but was just too blingy and made Priyanka look dated.
Way too much pink
A good colour palette always helps an ensemble and if there’s somebody who needs it, it’s Priyanka. Priyanka’s single-colour technique often makes her look tawdry and outrageous. This pink number for instance, which is just too pink and not a fit for Priyanka. Plus, she wore high boots with the dress which is a total no-no.

These are Bollywood celebrities have a weird demand before a film.
Salman Khan is one of the biggest names in the Bollywood industry and there are people who would do anything to work with him. Salman has one big demand for all the movies that he signs and it is that all his films should be free of any intimate scenes and he would not at all kiss on-screen. People would generally accept what Salman asks for because they know that getting Salman in the film means huge success.
2. Kangana Ranaut
Kangana Ranaut is one of the smartest women out there in Bollywood. She is full of her starry tantrums and therefore, does not want to involve herself for any queries and questions thrown her way. She clearly directs all of them to her personal assistant who has to take care of all of the questions and queries. Kangana gets involved only when it is required. Also, Kangana does this to keep herself away from any lame drama.
3. Sonakshi sinha
You probably didn’t see any on screen kissing thing in her movies, because she is not comfortable with it and always follows this clause before signing any Bollywood projects.
4. Hrithik Roshan
This person is no less than a Greek God when it comes to looks. He has that perfectly chiseled body that would attract even the most beautiful girls. Therefore, Hrithik does deserve all that attention and time. Of course, anyone in Hrithik’s shoes would not want to pause his workouts. So, every time Hrithik signs a movie, he demands the best gym in the town so he could maintain his fitness. He also has his own personal chef that goes with him everywhere.
5. Kareena Kapoor
One of the most beautiful and talented actresses in Bollywood cannot be found in a movie unless there is an A list actor starring in the movie. Kareena has this demand that she would only star in a movie if there is an A list Bollywood star acting in the movie. There might be some of the very talented people starring in the movie but nothing can convince Kareena unless an A-lister is present.
6. Akshay Kumar
Akshay understands the importance of relaxing and rest in one’s life and therefore demands a day off every Sunday so that he can relax and have some time with his family. It’s very important for a hardworking actor like him who juggles between multiple projects at the same time, to have some rest. Though Akshay has flouted his own demand when working for movies like Once Upon A Time in Mumbai Dobara and Brothers.
Some of the most useless awards that our actors have got include the following.
Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Senon won a special award titled “Nothing to Hide” award. I don't know what this award means and why is this award given.
Parineeti chopra was given a special award called “Gamechanger” award for……weight loss (such a great achievement that she spent one year to lose weight that she was criticised for)
Chennai Express got a Filmfare Award for “Trendsetter of the year”!! (I would like to know which trend was set by the film).
For three years Filmfare used to give Filmfare Power Award which used to award the most powerful and popular people of the industry (the one who won were obvious- SRK, Amitabh, Yash Chopra). I don't know what was the purpose of such Award!!
Then there are some mock awards - we all know Golden Kela and Ghanta awards but even Filmfare had a category of mockery awards. In the 2007 Filmfare, SRK and Saif gave away “Na-Real” Award shaped like a coconut.
So the award for worst hairstyle was given to Rani Mukherjee for Ta Ra Rum Pum. Ramesh Sippy was handed over the award for the worst adaption of a film (His Sholay was remade into Aag). So when he was asked what he will do with the award he replied “I will hit Ramu (Ram Gopal Verma with this). Most of this went well. Akshay Kumar even came to he stage to offer a speech. They even gave an award to Saif Ali Khan for Eklavya and SRK was nominated for his dancing in the weddings. So it was all humorous except for some, partuclarly for the newcomers or outsiders who felt it like bullying.
When Vidya Balan was given the Na-Real Award for Worst costume for Heyy Babyy she felt humiliated because they didn't called out the director and the costume designers who selected the dresses but mocked the actress for wearing it. She said in an interview that when she was given the script she asked the organisers why Sajid Khan and Manish Malhotra are not given this award and can she call them out as well. The organisers were not ready. But Vidya still called out both of them after she was given the award.
Ayushman Khurana
Ayushman Khurana has made his career playing either characters who are weird or with whom weird things happen.
Starting from his debut film Vicky Donor (2011) where he played a sp**m donor. He played a bl*nd man who is not actually bl*nd and who witness a m*rder. In Dum Lagai ke Haisha he played a man married to an over sized woman. In Bareilly ki Barfi he plays a man in love who fells for the writer of the book he wrote but published under someone else's name. In Badhai Ho (2018) he played the son of a mother who got pregnant at old age. In Bala, he played a bald man, in Shubh Mangal Savdhan he was suffering from er**tile dysfunction, in Shubh Mangal Zyada Savdhan he played a hom*se*ual. In Chandigarh Kare Aashiqi he played a man who was in love with a woman who was earlier a man!! In Dream Girl he played a man impersonating a woman to earn money. And in Thamma, he played a vampire.
In short, there has been almost next to no films of Ayushman Khurana where he hasnt played a character which is not weird in some or other rway or who is facing some weird issues. He was very successful in such films and therefore Ayushman Khurana small town movies became a genre in itself. However post COVID his films have lost their magic and he is now struggling to make success out of his eccentric movies.
1. Imran Khan in ‘Once Upon A Time In Mumbai… Dobara’
Is there any justification for this casting? Nope. Imran entered as the ‘chocolate boy’ of Bollywood, and his efforts to defy that typecast failed. He’s a great actor, but not convincing enough to play a gangster, and someone more convincing could have been roped in for the role.
2. Nargis Fakhri in Rockstar

Rockstar is a great movie. It’s one of the few things in Bollywood that are sacred, and it shouldn’t be touched. But if there was one thing we wish would change, is Fakhri as the character Heer Kaul. She wasn’t great at the parts where acting was involved and it just seemed like an odd pairing to an otherwise beautifully painful movie.
3. Shah Rukh Khan in Fan

Shah Rukh Khan played the character of the star perfectly, but a younger actor could have easily been cast to play the part of the fan. It looked odd to see SRK play the role of a much younger person, but maybe he didn’t wish to play a mere supporting role in the movie.
4. Shah Rukh Khan in Jab Harry Met Sejal

Shah Rukh and Anushka Sharma have delivered great hits such as Rabb Ne Bana Di Jodi (which deserves a separate article of its own) and Jab Tak Hai Jaan. But the pairing looked very weird in JHMS, owing to the age gap between the two.
5. Himesh Reshammiya in all his movies

Whoever promised the man an illustrious career in acting, I just wanna talk… I mean, the man made a remake of ‘Karz’ and then completely botched it, unapologetically. And then didn’t even stop there. Kyun?
6. Shraddha Kapoor in Haseena Parkar
Image Credit: Swiss Entertainment
The movie is a biopic on the life of Haseena Parkar, but Shraddha Kapoor failed to portray the character as a human being with complex emotions, and the performance seemed robotic and devoid of any nuance.
7. Salman Khan in Tubelight

Salman Khan is best suited to play the role of a toxic cop who doesn’t follow the rules and goes around shoving his masculinity in other people’s faces. That is also the end of his ‘acting’ threshold. We never would have bet on him to play the character of a challenged person convincingly, and the movie only furthers that he is best suited for roles that are, for the lack of a better word, macho.
8. Katrina Kaif in Rajneeti

The movie was great, and her accent and lack of acting skills did not sit well at all. Why was this even a casting decision, we’ll never know.
Here is a list of oddities and curiosities
