Fancy restaurants usually have certain rules, like what you should wear. This is something you find in many places, both in our country and around the world. Thinking about what counts as “nice clothes” can be a bit confusing. A video is viral on the internet, representing a discussion about how people should dress in restaurants. In the video, a man from Tamil Nadu named Raavanaa Ram talks about not being allowed into Virat Kohli’s restaurant in Mumbai because he was wearing a traditional “Veshti”(Dhoti).
In the video posted on X, the Tamil Nadu man stands outside One8 Commune in Juhu, Mumbai. He mentions traveling from Tamil Nadu to visit the restaurant but expresses feeling “disappointed” and “hurt” about the treatment he received. Even though he thought he was wearing nice clothes from a famous brand, the restaurant people would not let him in because of their dress code rules.

The man wishes this won’t happen again. He says he’d get it if they turned him away for wearing colorful lungi, shorter pants, or something casual. But he is bothered that they did not accept his “respectable outfit” that reflects the culture of his state.
The X post has more than 1.5 million views already, causing a lot of talk online. People on X have different opinions about the man’s complaint. Some are angry at the restaurant for its rules, while others think it’s okay. A few people think the restaurant has the right to enforce its dress code.
