The controversy regarding advertisements that started just before the holy festival of Rakshabandhan is not stopping. Recently, after the release of a Rakshabandhan advertisement of actress Kriti Sanon, a heated debate broke out on social media. Kriti was criticized a lot for her attire in this advertisement, on which Bollywood actress and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut also took a dig. However, now social media users have surrounded Kangana and made her 9 year old advertisement viral on the internet, in which she herself is seen wearing a strapless dress.
There was controversy over Kriti Sanon’s advertisement and Kangana’s taunt
The matter started when some people on social media objected to Kriti Sanon’s clothes for a new Rakshabandhan advertisement and started trolling her. In this episode, actress and MP Kangana Ranaut also gave her reaction regarding Kriti’s outfit. However, as soon as Kangana commented on it, social media users immediately reacted and started digging into her past and surfaced her old pictures and videos on the internet.
Users removed Kangana’s old advertisement of 2017
On the social media platform ‘X’, users found an old advertisement of Kangana Ranaut from the year 2017, which Kangana herself had shared on her official account at that time. In this old advertisement, Kangana is seen wearing a strapless dress. As soon as this video went viral, users started accusing him of adopting double standards. One user sarcastically wrote, “I felt cultural shock after seeing Kriti Sanon’s work, but what is this?” Another user wrote, “It is easy to preach to others, but it is wrong to forget one’s own past.” Another user called it completely inappropriate and against the culture.
Kriti Sanon gave a befitting reply in her own style
In view of the growing controversy and criticism, the concerned brand finally removed that advertisement from its social media platform. After this, actress Kriti Sanon also broke her silence and gave a befitting reply to the critics by writing a long note on Instagram Story. Kriti had written that the essence of any festival is not in its attire, but in your attachment towards the feelings and traditions hidden in it.
She further wrote, “When will we stop telling women what they should wear? Fashion and attire change with time, but a woman’s respect for her culture cannot be judged by her clothes alone. Culture and traditions reside in a person’s heart, not in her neckline!” At present, after this entire incident, there is a debate on social media regarding the dressing and traditional values of celebrities.
