Imagine a scenario. You, being a woman, are in the comfortable space of your house. The doorbell rings and you know it’s the food you just ordered. You open the door. The Swiggy Delivery person looks at you disgustingly and tells you to wear a dupatta.
The exact same thing has happened with a woman who was backed by famous Tamil Singer Chinmayi Sripada when she tweeted the incident on Twitter. And surprisingly, there were a lot of people who, rather than supporting the woman, made fun of it at length. Chinmayi happened to have had replied on various such tweets.
The woman who was insulted by a Swiggy Delivery Man tweeted, “@swiggy_in can your employees mind their own business? One of your delivery persons asked me to put on a shawl coming to my own house. Why does it matter? Do we have to teach manners to them?”
“Why are these f***ers entitled to tell us how we dress? That too in my own house,” she added. Her tweet went viral in a short period of time and when people tried to drive laughter out of it, she responded, “I’ll block everyone who is making fun of this.”
On this very matter, Chinmayi Sripada wrote on her Instagram Account, “Men who need to stare at women’s breasts…Doesn’t look like they got weaned from breastfeeding properly.”
For those who employ ‘home deep cleaning’ services, ‘toilet deep cleaning services’ your bathroom is a workplace. For plumbers and electricians your home is a workplace. For at home nurses, your home is a workplace 24/7.

On Twitter, her tweets went like, “The kind of responses for the tweet on a woman wearing a shawl – if you understand/ read Tamizh, should give you an idea of how things are around here.”
She also tweeted, “The pathetic problem is how this man justifies a Swiggy delivery man advising a woman to wear a Dupatta is ‘decent’ and asks the ‘aunty’ to be grateful he was decent. For a delivery person – A house that he /she /they deliver to is a Workplace for the delivery person.”
For a delivery person – A house that he / she / they deliver to is a WORKPLACE for the delivery person.
Just like your home is the WORKPLACE for your cleaning staff, driver, chef, courier delivery agents or other working professionals.

A delivery person seeing a man “showing off his private part in his own house” is still a crime.

This Tamil Singer and, not to mention, a woman with a very strong and opinionated mindset did not leave any chance to stand firm on this matter. She marked some very amazing facts in the form of comments on Twitter and it is highly appreciated.
