“And you are a striker and a goalkeeper. Awesome!” commented a Twitter user. “You are such a big inspiration to both males & females…you deserve more power in TMC,” said another. “Adorable and we find very few versatile politicians who inspire and provides positivity to keep our hopes alive for a better and stronger country,” posted a third.

“I think we can all agree that a sari is not the most comfotable outfit for sports, all the men around you are dressed in western clothes. The onus on wearing Indian clothes should not be solely on women, why not ask the men to wear dhotis too?” another netizen shared. “I used to play TT in a saree. How lovely seeing you play football!” posted another individual.

On August 16, Mahua Moitra had shared photos of her playing football in a saree during the inauguration of Khela Hobe Dibas.
