Is it an ointment? A cosmetic? People have their own opinions. But if you are a Bengali, you would say it is a part of your identity.” Sabyasachi also said that Boroline is a part of his “value system”. In his Instagram post, he also said that Boroline was also a “political statement” as it was a home-grown product during the British rule.

Mysore Sandal Soap

Mysore Sandal soap was another “iconic Indian products” that Sabyasachi posted about. He wrote, “Smell has a way of defining our universe. As a child, I remember having long baths in a cast iron bathtub by a window that overlooked the Hooghly river. I would stare transfixed at fishermen casting their nets while holding in my hands the distinctly aromatic Mysore Sandal Soap.” He also added that even though he has been introduced to new luxuries but nothing could ever replace “Mysore Sandal Soap. Nothing even came close. Ever.”
