LayarHijau – The studio of Chinese actress Wang Churan has become a trending topic on social media after releasing a behind-the-scenes (pre-departure preparation) video of her trip to Paris for the Dior show during Paris Fashion Week. The clip sparked widespread debate due to its opening line, which some netizens believe indirectly referenced the situation experienced by Dilraba Dilmurat.
As previously reported, Dior invited both actresses to attend its runway show in Paris. However, only Wang Churan ultimately appeared at the event. Dilraba was unable to attend after her flight was affected by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, forcing her to transit in Dubai and preventing her from arriving in Paris on time.

Amid the situation, Wang Churan’s studio released a behind-the-scenes video documenting her preparations before departure. The first line in the video, translated from Mandarin, reads: “Paris is not for transit.” The line references a famous quote from the film Sabrina, starring Audrey Hepburn.
In the film, Hepburn’s character says, “I have learned how to live… how to be in love in Paris. Paris is not for changing planes.” The dialogue reflects her experience of truly living and falling in love in Paris, rather than merely passing through it.
The choice of wording quickly divided public opinion. Some Dilraba fans considered it insensitive, given that she had indeed been forced to transit and ultimately missed the event. They speculated that the phrasing could be interpreted as a subtle jab.
Meanwhile, Wang Churan’s supporters defended the studio, arguing that the quote is a classic cinematic reference that fits a Paris-themed fashion event and should not be linked to anyone’s travel complications. They described the backlash as an overreaction fueled by fandom tensions.
A number of general netizens also expressed a more neutral view. They pointed out that creative decisions for promotional videos are typically made by the studio team, not the actress herself. According to these comments, if the wording was deemed inappropriate, responsibility should rest with the production team rather than Wang Churan personally.
At the same time, Dilraba’s absence has been linked to reports that her 13-year contract with Jay Walk Studio has reached its end. Although there has been no formal confirmation of her departure, the speculation has intensified public scrutiny surrounding her recent activities.
Despite the controversy, Wang Churan attended the Dior show solo and received praise for her appearance. Photos from the event circulated widely online, drawing positive reactions from fashion observers and fans alike.
The debate demonstrates how a single line in promotional content can generate contrasting interpretations, especially during a sensitive moment. As of now, Wang Churan’s studio has not issued further clarification regarding the quote, while online discussions continue.
