सब्यसाची मुखर्जी ने ट्रोल होने के बाद माफी मांगी, 'ओवरड्रेस्ड वुमेन' पोस्ट को लेकर मचा था बवाल

फैशन डिजाइनर सब्यसाची मुखर्जी ने रविवार को इंस्टाग्राम पर 'ओवरड्रेस्ड वुमेन' को लेकर की गई अपनी पोस्ट पर ट्रोल होने के बाद माफी मांगी ली.

फैशन डिजाइनर सब्यसाची मुखर्जी ने रविवार को इंस्टाग्राम पर 'ओवरड्रेस्ड वुमेन' को लेकर की गई अपनी पोस्ट पर ट्रोल होने के बाद माफी मांगी ली. इससे पहले इसी हफ्ते उन्होंने फोटो शेयरिंग एप पर एक पोस्ट शेयर की थी, जिसकी कुछ लाइनें इस प्रकार थीं, "अगर आप किसी महिला को ओवरड्रेस देखते हैं, मेक अप करे हुए, गहने पहने हुए, यह ऐसा ही है कि वह जख्मी है."

यह पोस्ट यूजर्स को ज्यादा पसंद नहीं आई. कुछ ने इसे हास्यास्पद बताया तो कुछ ने यह तक पूछ लिया कि कौन उनका सोशल मीडिया अकाउंट चला रहा है.

I thought a lot about whether to post this, but sometimes it is important to set the record straight and get the right message across. Having been in the fashion industry for over 20 years, I have encountered it firsthand and commented about it in many of my interviews - how, while many women use fashion and beauty for joy and self-expression, others use it as ‘retail therapy’ to fill in the gaps and voids in their lives. We, as a society, often get extremely judgemental about peoples’ clothing choices, calling them ‘overdressed’ or ‘tacky’ or ‘inappropriate’. We fail to understand that maybe some are using these as coping mechanisms to put on a brave front to make up for the lack of a support system. The true essence of the post was to ask people to be aware, empathetic, and not judgemental of peoples’ personal clothing choices, which could be a manifestation of their internal anguish. One of the bigger issues in society today, that very few people address, is mental health, and a little bit of awareness, empathy and kindness go a long way in acknowledging it. I have coped with crippling depression as a teenager for 7 years. I found my coping mechanism through radical clothing choices.I was sneered at and bullied, but it helped me find my way again. When I was creating this jewellery collection, I referred to Tagore’s ‘Monihara’ because it talks about these issues, which are sadly more relevant today. And I, for one, have never shied away from speaking about uncomfortable truths, no matter how disruptive it might be for my personal gain. Because when power is given, social responsibility should not be shunned. The mistake, however, was to use the reference as a blanket statement, as sometimes when we are passionate about an issue, we end up becoming overzealous and hence, tone deaf. My sincere apologies for that. The original post (however flawed) was put up to invite introspection and debate about how love, sensitivity and compassion, alongside expressions of art, beauty and fashion can create a net positive in the world. I invite everyone to democratically join this debate. Regards, Sabyasachi

सब्यसाची ने इंस्टाग्राम के माध्यम से ही अपनी पोस्ट को लेकर माफी मांगी है. उन्होंने कहा, "मैंने इस बारे में बहुत सोचा कि क्या इसे पोस्ट किया जाए या नहीं, लेकिन कई बार यह जरूरी होता है कि सीधी बात कही जाए और सही संदेश लोगों तक पहुंचाया जाए."

सब्यसाची ने कहा, "फैशन इंड्रस्टी में 20 सालों से हूं. मैंने अपने कई साक्षात्कारों में इसके बारे में टिप्पणी की है कि कैसे, जबकि कई महिलाएं आनंद और आत्म-अभिव्यक्ति के लिए फैशन और सौंदर्य का उपयोग करती हैं, अन्य इसे अपने जीवन में अंतराल और व्यर्थता को भरने के लिए 'रिटेल थेरेपी' के रूप में उपयोग करती हैं."

सब्यसाची ने यह भी कहा कि हम, एक समाज के रूप में, अक्सर लोगों के कपड़ों की पसंद के बारे में जबरन राय बना लेते हैं, उन्हें 'अति', 'अनुचित' या 'ओवरड्रेस' कहते हैं.

सब्यसाची ने कहा, "हम यह समझने में नाकाम हैं कि हो सकता है कि कुछ लोग सपोर्ट सिस्टम की कमी को पूरा करने के लिए इनका उपयोग कर रहे हों."
