Popular TV actress Divyanka Tripathi enjoys a fan base on social media. Recently, she found that herself in a tight spot. Tripathi shared a post where she was seen wearing a belt which was quite similar to the popular designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee's creation.
Tripathi wore a belt with a Royal Bengal Tiger motif which is a popular design creation by the Sabyasachi. Therefore, soon after she posted the picture, an Instagram handle by the name of Diet Sabya took her case by sharing a collage of the original with the rip-off featuring Divyanka.
After getting trolled, the actress shot back and shared a comment by a user which bashed the haters for slamming Divyanka. She captioned it as, “Sorry guys! I truly wanted to forget yesterday's episode when I was slammed and humiliated (by an insta profile and it's followers) for wearing a belt slightly similar to a branded piece (which I was ofcourse unaware of). But this comment!!!!!! I just couldn't resist putting up your comment on my post! More power to you girl. You verbalised what i was thinking.
Even i come from a humble background! Making mockery of people for their dressing, is such an arrogant and high-handed, high school snob attitude! Thank god, this happened with me! Else, i would not have known this side of bullying world. Few may feel embarassed and keep shut...but i prefer calling a spade a spade and bullying- bullying!
Nope, i am not a regular celebrity! I am different because "i am no different from people watching me" & getting bulldozed for my clothing...well, not acceptable!
This happened to me and I felt so pressurised suddenly, felt like digging a hole and burrying my face. Imagine this happening with people who can't afford great dresses and designs, let alone a stylist or designer. In fact, NOT ALL CELEBRITIES AND STARS ARE RICH in contrast to a common expectation.
Few become stars because of their QUALITY OF WORK and NOT WHAT THEY WEAR and HOW MUCH THEY EARN or FOR THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF FASHION WORLD! Everybody has a different forté! Bullying and belittling someone for that is SO DISHONORABLE, MEAN and VAIN! .
(PS : I could be right or wrong but at least I don't keep shut when being humiliated! It's a lesson for my readers-"Speak up for yourself when oppressors think they are the bosses!") Aaahh!! Bol ke kaleje ko thandak mil gai”
