Veteran actor and BJP leader Moushumi Chatterjee landed in a controversy for allegedly criticising a young woman announcer for her choice of cloths during an event-cum-press conference here.
Since the event was followed by a press conference by the local BJP unit, organised at a hotel on January 21, the purported advice by Chatterjee to the anchor hired to handle the event was captured by cameras of several news channels.
As soon as the woman anchor, wearing a shirt and pants, introduced the guests to the mediapersons and other audience present in a hall, Chatterjee took the mic and expressed her displeasure about the anchor's choice of dress.
"See, next time you come for such an event then make sure to wear Indian dress. We all wear modern dresses but you have to keep in mind the place too.
