Fashion designer Maria B is facing backlash on social media over an apparent contradiction between her personal stance and her brand's latest collection.
While publicly announcing she would not be celebrating Basant—citing a loss of "humanity and integrity"—she simultaneously promoted a new children’s line called "The Kite Club | Spring Summer Collection ’26"? that is themed around kites, the very symbol of the festival.
The stark contrast in messaging did not go unnoticed. Social media users were quick to call out what they perceived as hypocrisy, flooding her posts with comments like "She is such a hypocrite," "Munafiq," and "Hypocrisy! She’s launching her Basant collection lol."
