A major controversy has erupted in India over a leaked internal grooming guide from eyewear company Lenskart. The viral document allegedly stated that while hijabs and turbans were permitted for employees, bindis and tilaks were not. Lenskart CEO Peyush Bansal has clarified that the document is outdated and does not reflect current company policy. He admitted the line about bindis and tilaks was incorrect, said it 'should never have been there,' and confirmed it was removed earlier.
