Kriti Sanon Reacts To Raksha Bandhan Outfit Backlash
Kriti Sanon has responded to the criticism surrounding her Raksha Bandhan campaign for jewellery brand GIVA. The actress faced backlash on social media after wearing an off-white bralette-style blouse with a cape and draped skirt in the festive advertisement.
Addressing the controversy, Kriti questioned why a woman’s respect for her culture is often judged by her clothes. She said the true essence of festivals lies in emotions, traditions and the bonds shared with loved ones—not simply in what someone wears.
Talking about Raksha Bandhan, Kriti highlighted the bond she shares with her sister and said they believe they can protect each other equally. She also added that their prayers and love extend to their dogs, whom they consider family.
Kriti further pointed out that “ethnic fashion has evolved” and asked, “When will we stop telling women what to wear?”
The actress concluded with a strong message: “Culture & traditions are in her heart, not in her neckline!”
Her statement has once again sparked a debate online about women’s clothing, cultural traditions and changing definitions of ethnic fashion.
