'OMG! you really did that?', 'This is epic!', 'Omg I can’t unsee it now ', 'This is actually a positive comparison for me as I love all of things to which it is compared' — these were the fan reactions when Diet Sabya, an anonymous Instagram handle compared ace designer Sabyasachi Mukerjee's summer collection to a pack of gems, Teletubbies, and the Power Rangers.

Netizens called it a 'positive' trolling by fashion critic Diet Sabya (who derived their name from Sabyasachi).  In an interview with Kolkata-based daily, Sabyasachi spoke about 'Diet Sabya' and said, "These guys are pretty good. They brought a smile to my face." He said that the handle using his name was 'an honour'. 

Sabyasachi said he later called his publicist to clarify if they should send a legal notice to them for using his name without permission. To which, the publicist said, "Don’t you think it’s a homage?". Sabyasachi also revealed that another friend from the industry said that "this clearly shows that you have arrived."
