Ananya Birla, daughter of Aditya Birla Group’s chairman Kumar Mangalam Birla, on Sunday slammed a US restaurant for being ‘racist.’ She accused an Italian-American dining place in California of throwing her and her family out of their premises.

The singer took to Twitter to express her grievance and shared her ordeal on her social media handle. 

In a tweet the 26-year-old wrote, “This ScopaRestaurant literally threw my family and I, out of their premises. So racist. So sad. You really need to treat your customers right. Very racist. This is not okay.”

She expressed her indignation and said that racism ‘is not okay.’

The Scopa Italian Roots restaurant, which is an Italian-American dining place, is run by chef Antonia Lofaso and is located in California.

“We waited for 3 hours to eat at your restaurant. @chefantonia Your waiter Joshua Silverman was extremely rude to my mother, bordering racist. This isn’t okay,” Ananya said in another tweet, in which she tagged Lofaso.

Ananya is the daughter of Aditya Birla Group Chairman Kumar Mangalam Birla and educationist and mental health activist Neerja Birla.

Mother Neerja also lashed out at the hotel terming the incident shocking. She wrote on Twitter, “Very shocking… absolutely ridiculous behaviour by @ScopaRestaurant. You have no right to treat any of your customers like this.”

“I have never experienced anything of this sort. Racism exists and is real. Unbelievable. @ScopaRestaurant,” their son Aryaman Birla also tweeted.
