Green colour is of Maa Katyayni too signifying growth. You can’t take away my green from my wardrobe on any day.To support one cause don’t suppress another! #extremism. Women have fought hard for a free will in our society.

Dear WEIRD GUY, you are ultimately talking about women. Let’s be fair, please ask men to be in 6 yard dhotis, turbans and Brahman men not without chotis & janeu. #EqualSanskaar?
Bindi/ saree is part of Sringaar…chosen by women. Don’t shove it down her throat for any reason! https://t.co/YBZ3V2n4t3

Even I did a Diwali home shot commercial recently without a Bindi. Brand had nothing to do with it. It was a personal choice..close to my reality.
If one is sure of his/her cultural values,won’t need a pseudo portrayal.
Now, I’ll wear a green dress on Diwali. Will share pics?? https://t.co/MkLaBKYLPc— Divyanka T Dahiya (@Divyanka_T) October 30, 2021
