Here is a quick question for all our female readers. How many times has the genial lady sitting next to you in the bus, given you the most motherly smile and made you blush with the furtive strap-adjusting gesture?
Clearly, a visible bra-strap is a bigger threat to the well being of our nation than female anopheles mosquitoes.
Television actress Rytasha Rathore, who is best-known for playing a feisty young woman (who happens to be plus-sized) in the popular show, Badho Bahu, recently took to Instagram and posted a picture of herself in a bra with a rather angry caption. She explains that a bra is a normal piece of cloth and there is nothing to hide or be ashamed of. It’s okay if bra strap peeks out of clothes or even if you want to flaunt it. Have a look at her post:
Last year, MTV India’s Girls On Top actor Saloni Chopra too spoke about the issue through her Instagram post. She shared a post for people who have a problem with ‘bra straps’. In her post, she called it a disease and asked, “If you meet these diseased people, you could A. Send them to a Doctor, or B. Ask them to go f**k themselves.”

It’s not just these actors who stood-up against bra-strap shaming, Twitter is full of people who are against this unwanted and unrequired ‘ritual’. Have a look:

So people, don’t you think it’s time to accept the fact that woman have breasts and they wear a bra and it’s okay if a strap is seen? yes, #BoobiesRock.
