Nazia Elahi Khan Sparks Row at Lenskart Store in Mumbai Over Alleged Ban on Religious Symbols

By TeluguFunda / April 21, 2026

Nazia Elahi Khan, a BJP leader, stirred controversy after visiting a Lenskart store in Mumbai, where she questioned the management over alleged restrictions on employees wearing religious symbols.

According to visuals and statements circulating online, Nazia Elahi Khan entered the store and asked, “Who is the head of the store here? Why have you imposed a ban on Mangalsutra and Tilak for employees?” Her remarks appeared to challenge what she described as limitations on the expression of Hindu religious identity in the workplace.

During the visit, she was seen interacting with staff members and reportedly applying Tilak to some Hindu employees present at the store. The situation quickly drew attention as chants of “Jai Shri Ram” were raised inside the premises, turning the incident into a politically charged moment.

The episode has since sparked debate on social media, with supporters backing her stand on religious expression, while critics questioned the appropriateness of such actions within a private business establishment. As of now, there has been no official clarification from Lenskart regarding the alleged policy or the incident.

The development adds to ongoing discussions around workplace policies, individual freedoms, and the intersection of religion and corporate regulations in India.
