The brand, identified as Wajayesha Official, shared a series of images on Instagram that appeared to show Alia modelling their latest “pure sheesha silk” outfits. The post featured the actor in multiple looks, ranging from rich burgundy and emerald tones to pastel shades and classic black. Alongside the images, the label wrote, “Even Alia Bhatt likes our pure sheesha silk collection!! Colour can be customised, book your order now,” implying an endorsement that did not actually exist.
