South Delhi restaurant denies entry to woman for bizarre reason; video goes viral

Saree may be a national outfit for women but that did not stop a restaurant in South Delhi mall from barring a woman from sporting one. A video of the incident that has now gone viral displays a woman being denied entry into the restaurant at Ansal Plaza with employees saying that her saree did not come under the “smart casual” dress code.

Riled by the incident, journalist Anita Chaudhry, shared the clip of the episode on Facebook and captioned it, “Listen carefully to this video as there is a restaurant in Delhi where saree is not a smart outfit.”

“After that, numerous reasons were given against the saree but I was disallowed to sit in the restaurant because saree is not a smart outfit in our India, Bharat, Hindustan,” the caption read.

“The humiliation that took place because of my saree yesterday was bigger and heart-wrenching than any other insult that i have faced till now,” she added in the caption.

Anita also shared the clip on her YouTube channel.
