Roma Riaz Turns Heads in a Silver Sari
When Miss Universe Pakistan Roma Riaz appeared at the Moonlight Sky Gala in Phuket, her dazzling silver-beige sari by designer Kanwal Malik became the talk of the night. While some questioned her choice, Riaz transformed criticism into a powerful message of unity and pride.
The Sari as a Symbol of Shared Heritage
Responding to comments on Instagram, Riaz reminded fans that the sari is as Pakistani as the shalwar kameez. She explained that the garment’s roots lie in the Indus Valley Civilization, long before borders were drawn. To her, the sari represents a shared South Asian identity that transcends politics and geography.
