New Delhi:
Actress Maanvi Gagroo, best known for playing in Amazon Prime’s Four more photos please!, called a fashion brand for sharing a promotional item, featuring their photo, without their permission, and also for using a description that stank of shame. Thursday afternoon Maanvi tweeted a screenshot of what appears to be a Facebook message from House Of Fett, in which the words “Styles to hide your curves” can be seen written beneath a photo of Maanvi, dressed in a dress. Maanvi made a strong statement in her tweet, writing: “I didn’t wear this dress to ‘hide my curves’. Not only did the brand NOT have my permission to use my photo as a sponsored post, but it certainly doesn’t have my permission to put everyone to shame!
Here’s what she posted:
I did not wear this dress to “hide my curves”. Not only does the brand DO NOT have my permission to use my photo as a sponsored publication, but it certainly does not have my permission to shame ANYONE! I am against everything that this nasty slogan says. pic.twitter.com/GwY1TkOjCQ
