Netizens took to the comment section and gave mixed reactions

The post received a flurry of mixed reactions from netizens. While some agreed with the cheeky caption and felt that Wimbledon was slowly turning into a fashion runway for Indian celebrities, others found the growing celebrity presence excessive and out of place at a traditional sports event. A section of the audience criticised the shift in focus from tennis to style, expressing discomfort over what they saw as the “cannification” of a historic championship.

On the other hand, many fans defended their favourite stars and celebrated their presence on such a global stage. Several users pointed out that celebrities like Priyanka Chopra have been attending Wimbledon for years and are not new to the event. Others praised the fashion choices of stars like Preity Zinta, calling her the perfect mix of comfort and class.
