Kriti Sanon celebrates Raksha Bandhan with sister Nupur

On the occasion of Raksha Bandhan, Indian actor Kriti Sanon has shared a fresh update alongside her sister Nupur Sanon. In a post on her Instagram, she took a dig at netizens who widely bashed Sanon for her outfit in an advertisement that has now been pulled down. The light-hearted post arrives hot on the heaves of a fierce national controversy that sparked massive debate across internet few days back. The controversy started when the Bollywood actor appeared in a commercial for the jewellery brand Jeeva, celebrating the festival of Raksha Bandhan. In the ad, she tied a rakhi to her pet dog while wearing a modern Indo-Western ensemble, a matching cape and a draped skirt. The wardrobe choice instantly triggered a wave of public backlash from her critics, with actor and politician Kangana Ranaut among those condemning the attire as inappropriate for a sacred traditional Hindu festival. As the debate escalated rapidly across social media platforms, the jewellery brand took down the commercial, issuing a statement acknowledging that the campaign had hurt public sentiments. Kriti herself previously addressed the growing noise by firmly arguing that true culture resides in the heart rather than a neckline, calling out what she viewed as the constant and exhaustive politics of women's clothing in the public eye. Rather than letting the controversy define her celebrations, her latest social media post shifts the narrative back to genuine sisterhood, festive warmth and humour in the face of digital outrage.
