Summary
- Chandrika Dixit criticized Tanya Mittal's use of a saree with religious images.
- Tanya Mittal used her saree's pallu to wipe Ekta Kapoor's face at an event.
- Dixit felt she would have faced harsher media scrutiny for a similar act.
Influencer Chandrika Dixit, known as the Vada Pav Girl, has strongly criticized fellow influencer Tanya Mittal concerning a recent viral video. The video depicted Mittal assisting producer Ekta Kapoor at an event by wiping her face with the pallu of her saree.
The controversy arose because Mittal's saree was printed with images of Lord Ram and Goddess Sita. While this gesture was lauded by many, Dixit found the use of religious imagery in such a manner objectionable.
In her response video, Dixit stated that while she holds no personal animosity towards Mittal, the act of using the sacred pallu to wipe sweat was bothersome. She questioned whether Mittal's actions were acceptable due to the person being Ekta Kapoor or if Mittal herself was not thinking clearly.
Dixit further emphasized the disparity in public reaction, suggesting that if she had performed a similar act, even for personal hygiene, the media would have been highly critical. She concluded with a sentiment of 'Jai Shri Ram,' acknowledging the ongoing attention she has received regarding her personal marriage issues.
