Richa Chadha blasts Delhi restaurant for denying entry to woman wearing saree

A video of a restaurant allegedly refusing entry to a woman wearing a saree contending the attire did not come under the 'smart casual' category has gone viral on social media, with the restaurant drawing flak from people.

New Delhi: Actor Richa Chadha has lashed out at the Delhi restaurant, which has come under fire for not allowing entry to a woman as she was wearing a saree. According to the woman, the staff members at the restaurant told her that they only let in those wearing smart casuals and saree does not fall under it. 

Venting out her anger at Delhi restaurant Aquila on the matter, Richa wrote in her tweet, "This snobbery- denouncing our traditional clothes, looking down upon our own languages is the residue of post-colonisation trauma. It also creates a fertile breeding ground for fascism that exploits this very trauma. The Sari is smart, your policy isn’t! #SariNotSorry #Aquila."
