Grammy-winning musician Ricky Kej has complained online about being “harassed” with calls from eyewear brand Lenskart, after placing an order with them.
In a tweet tagging the company's as well as CEO Peyush Bansal's handle, Kej said he was considering legal action to shut down the unwanted calls.
"Dear @Lenskart_com and @peyushbansal, again, I have respect for your brand, but the constant HARASSMENT HAS TO STOP," Kej tweeted on March 6.
The musician said he felt "cursed" for buying from Lenskart's website and the only solution he saw was changing his number.
It's like I have been cursed for placing an order with you. Looks like the only way this will stop is if either I change my phone number, or if @Lenskart_com shuts down.Related stories

Kej said he had repeatedly urged Lenskart to remove him from their telemarketing database.
"It was promised.. but I still keep getting calls. Would legal action help?" he said.
Lenskart hadn't responded to his tweet by the time this article was published.
Kej, a Bengaluru-based musician, won his third Grammy at 2023 award ceremony. He is best known for the album Divine Tides, that explores the grandeur of the natural world.
