Delhi Ki 'Dhoop, Chawal': Bizarre Slogan On Zara Shirt Leaves Internet Baffled
"I think this was supposed to mean, Dilli ki dhoop, Dilli ki chaav which got mistranslated to chaval !!!," commented one user on the post.
Several well-known fashion brands have grabbed headlines in the past for displaying weird products on their websites. This time fast fashion label Zara is being trolled for a shirt that the company has put up on its website for sale. The white shirt retailing for Rs 3,290 has some bizarre Hindi words embroidered on it. A Twitter user shared a screenshot and said she was also unable to decipher the meaning.
"lol! Zara is selling a shirt that has Hindi words that make no sense: One side says 'Chawal - elements of voyage," which is rice, and the other says 'Delhi's sun/heat Delhi.'," read the caption shared by Twitter user Shilpa.
