An individual said, "Stop calling people from other countries exotic."

Another Instagram user, Neeru Rishi, wrote, "You used the word exotic to describe an Indian woman. Instant cancel."

"I love your other styles, and I think it was amazing what you pulled off! But when going to India for the first time for a wedding, the clothes could have been less revealing. Kim and Koko have amazing curves, which sometimes don't work well with all Indian outfits," commented user Lekha Vyas.

A fourth posted, "Did you just call an Indian woman exotic? Yikes."

Someone else shared, "Kim looked awful. The tops were far too small and revealing. The nose ring was also too heavy and inappropriate in my view."
