Key Questions Answered
The controversy erupted after jewellery brand GIVA released an advertisement for Raksha Bandhan featuring Kriti Sanon in an Indo-Western outfit, including a bralette-style blouse. Social media users and public figures criticized her attire as inappropriate for a traditional festival and objected to scenes involving her tying a rakhi to her pet dog.
Appearing on season six of Kareena Kapoor Khan’s chat show 'What Women Want', Kriti expressed shock that her attire had sparked a massive debate, noting that her choli even became the subject of a prime-time news panel discussion. She previously hit back at critics, stating that a woman's clothing and personal choices should not be a subject of public discussion.
Due to the intense backlash and debate that erupted across social media and news platforms over the campaign's styling and portrayal of the festival, the company ultimately decided to withdraw and completely remove the advertisement from all mediums.
