Sabyasachi is in a hot soup again. His recent ad on the new collection of mangalsutra has received several backlashes. This time, he has been legally served.
Advocate Ashutosh Dubey, legal advisor, of BJP-Maharashta Palghar District tweeted that he had issued a legal notice to fashion designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee for using semi-naked models for a mangalsutra collection advisement. Taking it to Twitter, he uploaded a screenshot of the legal notice.

This has sparked a debate among people and the internet is split into two parts – one where people support this legal notice and boycott the brand and the other one where people staunchly believe that the ad did not hurt any religious sentiments.
I would prefer to see a fully clothed lady, maybe in a traditional sari wearing a mangalsutra. It is possible to show off the design of the mangalsutra off this way. There is no need to have the lady in her undergarments!

Are you married Ashutosh? If no, ask the women in your family if they take off their mangalsutra before getting naked or having sex. It will answer important questions. Plus you will have a response when the judge reads you the riot act https://t.co/TnFKCq4pGD

So, women remove their mangalsutras when they go for a shower, or change clothes, or have sex, or simply wear a lingerie, right? Because they are “semi-naked” to “naked” then.
That aside, who decides whats holy in a Hindu marriage? https://t.co/2PpWlR052E

In the initial photoshoot, a plus-size model was seen wearing a black bra, a bindi and wearing two mangalsutras. She was hugging a man who was posing shirtless. This photoshoot led to outrage and to now serving legal notice.
This is not the first time that Sabyasachi is amidst the wildfire of cancel culture. Previously too, he has been subjected to sam media outrage and boycott threats.
