{{/usCountry}}“Shorts have nothing to do with society. It's your mentality. Btw, why is aunty wearing a saree with a crop top showing her stomach,” wrote an Instagram user. Another posted, “Bengaluru is going backwards.”
While some supported the elderly woman, others advised Bhattacharjee to ignore her. A few also claimed that it was all for making a reel. The original poster replied to these comments and commented, “I totally agree about ignoring her and we did ignore her and started walking towards the car parking. Then she started to follow us, started shouting in public, stopped other vehicles to show me in my shorts (legs) to other men. FYI -I was not creating any content there. I (sic) was on my way back to the car and she kept doing this just because I wore shorts?”
