"I will not let you choose what I wear" Indian journalist slams Israeli Special Forces member on TV
Guest accused her of wearing pro-Palestinian sari
New Delhi: In a recent television broadcast, Indian TV anchor Shreya Dhoundial faced criticism from her Israeli guest, Frederic Landau, a member of the Israeli Intel Special Forces, over her choice of attire. Dhoundial, the executive editor of Mirror Now, was wearing her grandmother's green and red saree during the broadcast.
Landau, noting the colors of the Palestinian flag, suggested that Dhoundial was wearing colors associated with Palestine. He urged her to "save it for another occasion," emphasizing the prevailing importance of blue and white, which are the colors of the Israeli flag. “Blue and white will always prevail,” he said.
In response, Dhoundial defended her choice of attire, stating that the saree was her grandmother's and did not signify any support for any side in the Israel-Hamas conflict. She resisted Landau's attempt to dictate her clothing choices, asserting her right to wear what she pleased.
Dhoundial responded: “Let’s not divide colours on the basis of religion, Frederic. It sometimes happens in my country as well. The garment I am wearing is a saree. And it is my grandmother’s.”
Dhoundial continued: “What I am wearing right now is simply my grandmother’s saree,” the TV host said. “If she would have been alive, she would have been 105 years old today. She didn’t know what the Israel – Hamas conflict was.”
She further slammed Frederic and stated that she will not let him choose what to wear and what to say.
On her social media, the journalist posted a clip from the show and wrote: “My dear departed grandmother’s saree upset my guest from #Israel this evening. For once, I was at a loss of words.”
"I will not let you choose what I wear."
