Controversies	• Criticised for Sharing Fake Magazine Cover The Indian actor Kushal Tandon once shared a photograph of Gauahar on the cover of Stardust magazine. Soon, people started speculating that Gauahar was featured as the cover model of Stardust magazine. However, it was found out that the image was not genuine but morphed. Consequently, the officials from Stardust magazine issued a statement to clarify that Gauahar's Instagram post featuring the Stardust logo had no association with their publication. They reached out to Gauahar, requesting her to delete the post, yet she felt unsure due to concerns that the media might make negative speculations about her. The magazine authorities even said that they would take legal measures against the person who had utilised their logo without authorisation and contradicted their company's policy. Subsequently, Gauahar explained the situation and provided clarity through a video. [6]Zoom TV Entertainment She said, "It’s very unprofessional when certain media outlets use my personal conversations with them as quotes. It’s saddening. The picture itself doesn’t show that it was a cover of the magazine they talked about. They have also mentioned that they will take legal action against the people who made it, so please stay calm!” • Wardrobe Malfunction in a Fashion Show In 2006, during the fashion show Fashion Week in Mumbai, Gauahar Khan walked the runway as a model. On the event's third day, she donned a golden top paired with a black skirt, both designed by the fashion designer Lascelles Symmons.
