‘Tarini’ Fame Actress Ashwini Gorle Faces Backlash Over Experimental Paithani Saree Look

Marathi actress Ashwini Gorle, best known for her role as Kavya in the popular television series Tarini, has found herself at the center of social media criticism following her recent appearance at the Zee Marathi Awards 2026. Photos and videos of the actress at the star-studded event went viral, drawing widespread backlash from netizens over her unorthodox styling of the traditional Paithani saree.

While Gorle has built a dedicated fan following through her television work, her experimental award show ensemble failed to resonate with viewers. The iconic Paithani saree, deeply rooted in Maharashtrian cultural heritage, was styled in an unconventional drape that many critics felt disregarded the traditional elegance of the attire.

Social media users expressed their disappointment in the comment section of her viral posts. One netizen commented that she had “ruined the saree,” while another described the look as unnecessary experimentation. Other users lamented the missed opportunity, noting how striking a classic Paithani drape would have looked on the red carpet.

Despite the controversy surrounding her wardrobe choice, Gorle continues to establish her footprint in the Marathi entertainment industry. Known for maintaining an active presence on social media—where she currently engages a growing audience—the actress has yet to address the public reaction regarding her award show outfit.
