In February 2021, Addite Shirwaikar Malik and Mohit Malik sent fans into a meltdown with beautiful pictures from the former's baby shower ceremony. It was a traditional Maharashtrian affair and the couple looked stunning in their ethnic outfits. However, a year later, a section of people on social media cried 'Love Jihad' after spotting their pictures on the website of clothing brand Karagiri.

Mohit, for the baby shower, wore a dark green kurta and teamed it up with a traditional Maharashtrian topi. However, a person on Twitter falsely considered the Maharashtrian topi to be an Islamic cap. Accusing Karagiri of promoting Love Jihad without being completely aware that Addite and Mohit belong to the Hindu community, a person wrote, "How to promote #LOVEJIHAD old tactics of these Anti Hindus to lure hindu girls for radicalise Murderer rapist Buslims Now the #KARAGIRI promoting Love jihad in her ad of saree. Hindu should not buy any thing from them as muslims Only wear sarees ."
