A screenshot claiming that Lenskart, an eyewear retailer based in India, prohibits employees from wearing bindi and tilak while allowing hijab has sparked significant backlash online. This claim, which circulated widely, raised concerns about the company's dress code and perceived discrimination against Hindu symbols. Shefali Vaidya, a writer, shared the screenshot, claiming it was genuine and questioning the fairness of such policies in a predominantly Hindu country. In response to the uproar, Lenskart founder Peyush Bansal took to X (formerly Twitter) to clarify that the document in question is outdated and does not represent their current guidelines. He assured that there are no restrictions on religious expressions, including bindi and tilak, and expressed regret for any confusion caused. Bansal highlighted that Lenskart values the cultural and religious diversity of its employees, stating, 'Every symbol and every tradition our people carry is a part of who we are as a company.'
