An interaction between an Indian woman wearing a saree and a gang of “desi aunties” has surfaced on social media. It shows how the elderly people reacted when the woman asked them if she was overdressed by New York City (NYC) standards.
“I thought I might be overdressed for NYC. Then I asked random Desi aunties how I looked in my saree. Their love and kind words felt like home, 8000 miles away. This one’s for every desi girl who wants to wear her saree with confidence,” Ruchika Jain wrote while sharing a video.
