“Fashion to me is not only an aesthetic choice and a free license to snobbery. For me it is not to be caged in the grids of Instagram. It is a language. Fashion is a roaring language of protest – of revolution.”, says the bong munda a.k.a Pushpak Sen, hailing from Kolkata. Fearless and flamboyant, 26-year-old Pushpak is on a mission to travel the iconic places in the world donning traditional handloom sarees of India.

Pushpak Had A Tight-Lipped Reply To Relatives Who Had Slut-Shamed His Mother
Time and again, Pushpak’s writings have revealed his fondness for his mother. On her birthday, Pushpak thanked her stating that he has grown up to be ‘beautiful’ because of her. Earlier, he had put on a bright red lipstick to give a tight-lipped reply to his relatives who had slut-shamed his mother. Posing with the red lipstick, Pushpak had written, “My mother, a woman of 54 years, got slut-shamed, by some of our nearest relatives, for wearing a red lipstick at a family get-together. So today, I sent all of them this picture with a ‘Good morning. Get well soon.’ message. What baffled me the most is that some of these relatives have children, who are super ‘woke’ on social media and were present when this ‘gossip’ was happening but didn’t say a word.”
