Now, Now the advertisement campaign hasn’t gone down well with a section of people on the internet, who have raised objections and expressed their sheer disappointment at seeing this ad campaign.
Several users took to their social media to address their disappointment and claimed that the advertisement is an attack on the Hindu culture as it hurts the sentiments.
“I thought Sabyasachi launched his new lingerie collection, no no…that’s a mangalsutra ad. I’m so regressive, I didn’t notice,” a user tweeted. “What are you exactly advertising? No one will wear this jewellery now coz you have shown the world the if I wear that jewellery I must be some cheapo! please take care of your campaigns (sic),” another user wrote on the Instagram comments section

What’s wrong with u these days, Who sell Mangalsutra like this. If u have guts sell burkha, tabij in this manners?? Stop Hindu discremation #Sabyasachi (sic),” a user tweeted.

This is shameful Act @sabya_mukherjee
You are selling the Mangal sutra by promoting nudity & obscene content with a hashtag #intimatefinejewellerybysabyasachi
This is intentional hurting of Hindu sentiments

Mangalsutra looks like this #Sabyasachi
It's not a random piece of fashion jewellery, it indicates the love and commitment the husband and wife have towards each other. pic.twitter.com/HB3r4Aa4A4

Mangalsutra is a pious thread. It signifies the sacred union of marriage. U can do advertisement in this way,it looks really beautiful (pic-1) not in this vulgar way (pic-2). Why intolerant ones are jumping for boycott? No need tho. Dlt that ad and apologize. Enough! #Sabyasachi pic.twitter.com/m6akHGarNO
