Getting married got a Queens woman dunked from her job at Krispy Kreme, she claimed in a lawsuit.

Tumpa Saha, 34, who is Hindu, worked at the Times Square flagship store on Broadway with permission to wear a Shaka — required religious bracelets that show she is married, she said in court papers.

But after nearly two years as a cashier and “doughnut specialist,” things turned sour for Saha last month when a shift supervisor informed her, “I know you were already approved for a religious accommodation by a previous manager, but now the new manager said you have to take off your religious bracelets if you want to keep working,” according to a Manhattan Federal Court lawsuit.

She later received a written notice from an HR rep that her religious accommodation was denied but that she could take on a new role handling trash, she said in the legal filing.

Saha, who is seeking unspecified damages, was fired July 9.

Neither the reps for Saha nor Krispy Kreme returned messages.
