Rs 12K Lenskart glasses bought, shattered on camera; viral clip triggers backlash

Protest in Viral Clip Grabs Attention

The renewed discussion stems from a video showing a man protesting in a manner that quickly caught the internet’s attention. In the clip, he claims to have purchased a pair of glasses from a Lenskart store. Moments after stepping बाहर, he is seen throwing the glasses onto the ground and smashing them.

While doing so, he makes a statement expressing religious sentiments:

“Hindu se itni nafrat kyu, jo hindu dharam ka nahi, hindu dharam unka bhi nahi.”

The act has been linked by some social media users to ongoing claims about alleged restrictions on wearing bindis and tilaks in Lenskart workplaces. However, the video itself does not provide any direct evidence confirming these claims and only captures the man’s protest and remarks.

Authenticity of the Claim Questioned

As the video gained traction, several users began questioning whether the purchase shown in the clip was genuine.

One user commented that they did not believe the man had actually bought new sunglasses from Lenskart, suggesting he should have recorded an uncut video showing the purchase and payment before destroying the product.

Such reactions indicate a level of skepticism among viewers regarding the authenticity of the incident.

Criticism Over Destroying Purchased Item

Apart from doubts about the video’s credibility, many users also criticised the act of breaking the glasses after buying them.

Some pointed out that the man was essentially wasting his own money, while others suggested that a more meaningful gesture would have been to donate the glasses to someone in need instead of destroying them.

Divided and Sharp Reactions Online

The video has triggered a wide spectrum of responses, ranging from sarcasm to strong criticism.

While some users mocked the act, others viewed it as unnecessary publicity, with comments suggesting that the incident was indirectly benefiting Lenskart through increased attention.

There were also claims questioning the intent behind the protest, with a few users alleging that the act might have been staged or influenced, though no concrete evidence has surfaced to support such assertions.

Ongoing Debate Continues

As the video continues to circulate, it has once again brought Lenskart into the spotlight, fueling discussions that remain divided across social media.

With no official confirmation regarding the claims linked to the protest, the debate appears to be driven largely by online narratives, opinions, and interpretations rather than verified facts.
