Instagram users had varied reactions. One user commented, “I don’t understand why people in the comments are mad about a lungi-outfit. Balenciaga is literally selling a towel and calling it a skirt and it’s priced at 925USD.” Another user said, “We all need a grandma like that in our lives.” A third user wrote, “Akka you deserve a huge salute i love it smile at last.”
