Amala Paul and Asif Ali went to St. Albert’s College in Kochi to promote their new movie, Level Cross. Amala wore a short dress with a low neckline exposing her cleavage, which upset many people on social media, calling it inappropriate and indecent.
During a press meet, Amala responded to the criticism.

She said she wore what she felt comfortable in and didn’t think it was inappropriate. She believed the issue was with how the cameras showed her dress.
The problem is with how the cameras projected my dressing style. I wore what was comfortable for me. My dress was not inappropriate for the event. What was probably inappropriate was the way the cameras projected my attire. I have no control over that,” she explained.

Amala also said the students at the college weren’t uncomfortable with her outfit. “The students were totally comfortable with what I wore. I wear all types of clothing, traditional or Western. By wearing that dress, I wanted to encourage students to feel confident in their clothing choices,” she added.
Amala, who recently had a baby boy, is busy promoting her Malayalam film Level Cross, which comes out this Friday. After pictures and videos of her in the revealing dress appeared online, people started making negative comments.
