A comment on Manisha’s post read, “Aap married ho Manisha Ji?” Another wrote, “But yeh nose se mathe tak sindoor tak sindoor toh married women hi lagati hai hai.” “If you are not married then you should not put sindur like how you did,” someone said. A user called out Manisha too and wrote, “Shaadi ke baad sindoor lagaya jata hai or chhath poja shaadi ke bad hi karte hai. Views ke liye kuch bhi!” Another user too expressed a similar concern: “Kam se kam apne dharam ka mazak mat banayiye photo shoot ke liye. Aap shaadi shuda nhi hain to aapne sindur kyu lagaya hai. Asha hai aap mera baat samjhengi. Jai Chatt maiya.” However, a commentator took Manisha’s side and wrote, “I’ve seen people commenting that sindoor is only for married women but honestly….it’s about celebrating the festival and connecting with your culture, not marital status. The user added, “Even unmarried girls applying sindoor are showing love and respect for tradition…just like Manisha! She’s glowing with pride, confidence and making Chhath Puja look even more beautiful.” Manisha Rani had posted Chhath celebration pictures with sindoor last year as well.
