Khushi Mukherjee, who has been facing backlash for a long time due to her bold outfits, has now defended her sartorial choices. Recently, Khushi took to her Instagram handle and dropped a video in which she was seen reciting Hanuman Chalisa. She mentioned that she is a 'proud Brahmin" and argued that just because she wears bold outfits, it does not mean that she is not cultured.
'I was born and brought up in a Bengali Brahmin family and I am very much aware of my cultural roots. I would like to recite the Hanuman Chalisa in front of everyone," Khushi said in the video.
'By doing this, I didn't want to prove anything to anyone. I know people will still say a lot of bad things about me and troll me. I just wanted to let everyone know that just because I wear bold clothes, it doesn't mean I've forgotten Indian culture," she added.

In the caption of her video, Khushi wrote, 'Just because I wear bold clothes doesn't mean i have forgotten my cultural background. I am a proud Bengali Brahmin. N i know even after reciting this hanuman chalisa I am gonna get targeted and trolled by certain group of so called influencers/actors who so ever. But this is for all my supporters!"
This comes a day after Shiv Thakare lashed out at Khushi for sporting revealing outfits while posing for the paparazzi. A video of the Bigg Boss star surfaced on social media in which he reacted to Khushi's viral clips and slammed her for seeking publicity by opting for revealing sartorial choices. Shiv mentioned that Khushi's family should scold her and even slap her, if needed.
Prior to this, actress Falaq Naaz also weighed in on the matter, without naming Khushi directly. In a strongly worded Instagram video, Falaq referred to Khushi only as 'didi" and expressed her frustration with the government's double standards when it comes to public decency and civic penalties.
Falaq also made an emotional appeal to the public to raise this question with the authorities. 'So, jitne log yaha pe baithe hue hai, help me out, tag authorities, and I want the answer now ke yeh sahi hai. Aur agar yeh sahi hai toh stray dogs ko khaana khilane pe koi aawaz naa uthaaye. Agar nang pane mein aawaz nahi uthrahi, toh bachcho ko khaane khilane mein aawaz naa uthana," she said.
