With people getting themselves masks made of gold and diamonds, one wonders whether we are in the middle of a pandemic or a fashion and wealth show? Mana shaunk badi cheez hai, but people are spending lakhs getting bejeweled masks and some are not even sure if they are effective.?
After one?Pune man got a customised gold mask made for himself, a businessman in Cuttack has done the same.?
Alok Mohanty has been obsessed with gold since childhood and after taking inspiration from the man in Pune, he got a gold mask made from himself as well. In Surat, people are buying diamond-studded masks as well,?worth as much as Rs 4 lakh.?
Alok likes gold so much that apart from the ¡®usual¡¯ ornaments like chains, bracelets and rings, his accessories like watches and caps are also made of or lined with gold. Reportedly, Alok, a resident of Kesharpur area of Cuttack, got himself an N95 gold mask worth Rs 3.5 lakh.?
¡°I had recently seen a businessman wearing a golden mask on television. As I have a penchant for gold so I placed the order for the same through a Mumbai based trader. It¡¯s a N95 mask in which 90 to 100 grams of golden threads have been used. The mask has minute holes for breathing and is comfortable to wear,¡± HT quoted him as saying.
While some people are concerned about the many coronavirus cases in the country, others seem to be occupied with ¡®who has a fancier mask¡¯.?
