New Delhi: Saree is one of the most populous and traditional attires in India and it never goes out of fashion. In a video that has gone viral on social media, a woman was denied entry in a restro-bar in Delhi because that she was wearing a saree and that the attire was not considered a 'smart casual' dress code.

Annoyed with the incident journalist Anita Chaudhry uploaded the video on Facebook with the caption, "Listen to this video carefully as there is a restaurant in Delhi where Saree is not considered a smart outfit".
"After that many excuses were given against the saree but I was not allowed to sit in the restaurant because Indian paridhan saree is not a smart outfit in our India, Bharat, Hindustan." 

The video was also uploaded on her youtube channel. "I am married, I was married in a saree. I have my daughters and family who love it when I wear saree," Anita Chaudhry posted on her Youtube Channel.

Further, she said in a country like India where saree is a traditional dress but yet in some parts of the country it is not considered a smart outfit. "I ask the ministers,  Delhi Police and NCW to give me a concrete definition of 'smart outfit' so that I can stop wearing saree," she said.

The 16-second video is being widely shared across social media platforms.
