Actress Mallika Sherawat reacts to controversy on *The Traitors Season 2* after Shalini Passi questioned whether Mallika’s green Dolce & Gabbana dress was authentic. The debate spreads online, with viewers focusing on the outfit as a recurring topic among contestants.

According to Shalini’s comments during the show, she alleges she saw branding and says the dress is inconsistent with a Dolce & Gabbana green-and-gold she previously wore. She also claims she can provide proof of her own designer outfits, noting her long experience with fashion purchases and couture. Shalini’s remarks are framed as doubts that Mallika’s dress is a genuine Dolce & Gabbana piece.

Mallika responds via an Instagram video posted on August 22, treating the dress as the “most important issue” on the show and joking that any criticism may be driven by jealousy. Neither outlet reports any verification from the fashion brand or conclusive evidence establishing whether the dress is authentic, so the disagreement remains based on the contestants’ claims and audience speculation.
