Tanya’s remark came up during a lighthearted discussion about personal style when she said, “Jo pehnna hai pehno, I like Western clothes, and I will wear what I want.” The statement, intended to reflect individuality and self-expression, was quickly picked up by viewers who criticised it for appearing dismissive of traditional Indian attire. Many netizens took to social platforms to slam her remark, arguing that she should respect her cultural fashion heritage. The phrase “Jo pehnna hai pehno,” loosely meaning “Wear whatever you want,” became a trending point of debate as clips from the episode circulated widely online.
