Priyanshi would be more comfortable than Ali since she is wearing cotton clothes. Being porous in nature, cotton clothes would absorb moisture from the body. As it evaporates, it results in cooling giving comfort to the body. Since Ali is wearing nylon clothes which have hardly any pores, he would feel less comfortable.
