After being bashed by netizens for his statements like 'If you see a woman 'overdressed', it is most likely that she is wounded', designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee offered an unconditional apology.
Ace designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee is known for amazing work which we have witnessed via Bollywood celebrities who wore his attire for their weddings and other important events. From Virat Kohli-Anushka Sharma, Deepika Padukone-Ranveer Singh to Priyanka Chopra Jonas-Nick Jonas, many Bollywood couples were seen in Sabyasachi ensemble during their wedding festivities. Looking at his work, many girls even dreamt of owning a Sabyasachi outfit to wear for their wedding ceremonies.
However, after his recent post, thousands of netizens bashed him left, right and centre. People were left angry after reading statements like "If you see a woman 'overdressed', it is most likely that she is wounded." Sabyasachi started off his note by quoting Miss Havisham from Great Expectations. It read as, "The agony is exquisite, is it not? A broken heart. You think you will die. But you just keep living. Day after day, after terrible day." He then wrote, "If you see a woman 'overdressed', caked with makeup, armoured with jewellery, it is most likely that she is wounded. Bleeding inside, silently. Holding on to her pride and dignity, shining for the world, though within her innermost being there is a dark, blinding pain. Take some time off to give her your precious company, heal her with your empathy, because sometimes nothing can replace human warmth. Not even the most precious of jewellery."
Soon after Sabyasachi posted this, his comment sections were flooded by replies wherein they slammed him for making such kind of statements. Take a look below:
However, Sabyasachi later apologised and took the responsibility of posting such statements. He wrote, "I acknowledge the feedback we have received regarding the statements made in our recent Instagram presentation. We hear you and although it was intended as a message of love and empathy and a call to look beyond exterior appearances, it wasn't articulated correctly.
I understand that it does not convey the message appropriately at all and for that, I would like to accept blame and offer an unconditional apology."
