Bollywood actress Sara Ali Khan found herself at the receiving end of social media criticism, after she debuted on Filmfare magazine's March issue cover. She is being slammed for her 'racist' and 'tone-deaf' photo-shoot in which she poses with Masai tribesmen in Kenya.
Twitter users are criticising her for agreeing to use tribesmen as a 'prop' for the shoot.

Sara Ali Khan went to Columbia, and even she could not tell filmfare that maybe her “stunner” picture is racist and appropriative? Come on, Sara, you are one of the good ones!! https://t.co/lNlaaEcnFR

People expressing shock over Sara Ali Khan's foolhardy Filmfare shoot "despite being ivy league educated" is so funny. Since when did an ivy league education automatically make someone smart, wordly or wise? Some of the biggest douchebags I know are from the ivy league.

Why is there a jumping masai warrior behind Sara Ali Khan?? Africans are not props for your photoshoots.
