After receiving an email about the traditional day, she checked her wardrobe for one, only to learn she had to buy a new piece.

"Aisa bhi h-one laga ab? (Even such things have started happening now?)", read a comment. "This! This This so much this!", wrote another.

"I never faced any fines for not following those festive dress codes...If this is true and the company's HR fines you ₹100, then they are a laughingstock", netizens remarked.
