Plagiarism is quite common, especially in the fashion industry. But there is a special dedicated Instagram account called Diet Sabya which exposes imitations and even blatant copies. Many big Indian fashion designers are and were called out by anonymous Instagram account. The Instagram handle is so famous that Sonam Kapoor and Alia Bhatt among others follow it. Recently, famous TV actress Divyanka Tripathi Dahiya got called out for copying a trademark Sabyasachi design. For the unversed, Divyanka had shared a picture of herself and captioned it as, "A simple dress can enhance your elegance and classy accessories can lift up the look. Just plan how you want to look for the event and work your way around it."

But soon, she was called out by Diet Sabya as the belt that Divyanka sported was allegedly a rip off of Sabyasachi's trademark belt. They posted pictures of Divyanka's ensemble and Aishwarya Rai wearing Sabyasachi outfit. Along with the collage, they wrote, "Y'all will often tell us not to blame the celebrity, but you've to live under a giant rock to not know that this is an iconic @sabyasachiofficial belt. NO excuses!! ." Soon, Divyanka gave it back to them by commenting on the same post of the sharp-tongued Instagrammer.


Sorry guys! I truly wanted to forget yesterday's episode when I was slammed and humiliated (by an insta profile and it's followers) for wearing a belt slightly similar to a branded piece (which I was ofcourse unaware of). But this comment!!!!!! I just couldn't resist putting up your comment on my post! MORE POWER TO YOU GIRL. YOU VERBALISED WHAT I WAS THINKING. EVEN I COME FROM A HUMBLE BACKGROUND! MAKING MOCKERY OF PEOPLE FOR THEIR DRESSING, IS SUCH AN ARROGANT AND HIGH-HANDED, HIGH SCHOOL SNOB ATTITUDE! THANK GOD, THIS HAPPENED WITH ME! ELSE, I WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN THIS SIDE OF BULLYING WORLD. FEW MAY FEEL EMBARASSED AND KEEP SHUT...BUT I PREFER CALLING A SPADE A SPADE AND BULLYING- BULLYING! NOPE, I AM NOT A REGULAR CELEBRITY! I AM DIFFERENT BECAUSE "I AM NO DIFFERENT FROM PEOPLE WATCHING ME" & GETTING BULLDOZED FOR MY CLOTHING...WELL, NOT ACCEPTABLE! This happened to me and I felt so pressurised suddenly, felt like digging a hole and burrying my face. Imagine this happening with people who can't afford great dresses and designs, let alone a stylist or designer. In fact, NOT ALL CELEBRITIES AND STARS ARE RICH in contrast to a common expectation. Few become stars because of their QUALITY OF WORK and NOT WHAT THEY WEAR and HOW MUCH THEY EARN or FOR THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF FASHION WORLD! Everybody has a different forté! Bullying and belittling someone for that is SO DISHONORABLE, MEAN and VAIN! . (PS : I could be right or wrong but at least I don't keep shut when being humiliated! It's a lesson for my readers- "Speak up for yourself when oppressors think they are the bosses!") Aaahh!! Bol ke kaleje ko thandak mil gai

She commented, "My genuine ignorance can be a big fashion crime for you.  but you guys definitely have the guts to be rude to another level. Thanks for pointing out the mistake. No Thanks for being inhuman and harsh."

Soon fans of Divyanka came out in her support and there was a war of words going on between the fashion police and Divyanka's fans. While there are some who think Divyanka did it unconsciously, there are few who slammed her and the fashion designer for copying. What are your views? Let us know in the comments section below.
