Overview

• On July 1, Mukherjee recorded herself reciting the Hanuman Chalisa to emphasize her Bengali Brahmin heritage and reject claims that her bold wardrobe negates her cultural values.
• In a new salwar-kameez video, she predicted critics would slam her even for modest attire and took a pointed jab at Falaq Naaz’s remarks comparing her to Uorfi Javed.
• Mukherjee continues to insist she is “not apologetic” for her fashion choices, saying her looks draw inspiration from Hollywood actresses, influencers and runway models.
• Figures like Shiv Thakare have publicly denounced her revealing outfits and called for familial or regulatory punishment, though no formal action has been taken.
• The dispute over public decency standards and inconsistent enforcement persists as Mukherjee balances defiant sartorial statements with cultural reaffirmation.
