One user wrote on X, “This is an ad from a jewellery brand featuring a Bollywood actress for Raksha Bandhan In this ad, she is wearing a skimpy outfit while celebrating Raksha Bandhan Not just that, she also got a Rakhi for her dog, giving the dog more importance than her brother Spirit of Raksha Bandhan is being ruined and disrespected.”Another shared, “A deliberate attempt to ridicule a pious festival. Actress Kriti Sannon is equally guilty.”Calling for legal action against the actor, a third wrote, “A FIR be filed against @kritisanon for perverted portrayal of brother sister festival of rakhi & hurting the dharmik sentiments of hindus u/s 299 BNS— Deliberate & Malicious Acts to insult religious beliefs through visual or electronic means punishment up to 3 years in prison.”A fourth wrote, “Forget the dog, Kriti Sannon’s Raksha Bandhan outfit is bound to raise more than a few eyebrows. Very poor taste. But “Mah body, mah choice”, right? Ms. Sannon has proven she’s not a dumb chick – engineer by education, successful entrepreneur, smart woman by any yardstick.”A fifth said, “Kriti sanon wearing a bra while tying a rakhi to her brother in a new jewellery Ad by GIVA. You won’t see them making fun of either Eid or Christmas.”Kriti sanon wearing a bra while tying a rakhi to her brother in a new jewellery Ad by GIVA.

‘Best gift that you can give yourself’: Kriti Sanon reveals she froze her eggs while filming ‘Mimi’However, a few came to the actor’s support and called it an act of moral policing, insisting that there’s nothing wrong with her outfit.A fan wrote, “Everyone trolling Kriti Sanon for this GIVA ad, saying she’s wearing a “bikini.” Is she? Nope. She’s not dressed inappropriately. Maybe her outfit just doesn’t fit your definition of “decency.” I could wear that in front of my brother too. Same people cheering her bikini scenes in movies are now policing her clothes. Women are judged either way. Get a life, trollers.”Another wrote, “Saying how can she dress like this in front of her brother doesn’t reflect poorly on the woman, it reflects poorly on the brother. If all female bodies are séxual to you, then you need to get yourself checked. Séxualisation is in the brain, not in the body.”‘Cocktail 2’ movie review: Predictable love triangle that remains eye-candyMeanwhile, on the work front, Sanon was last seen in Cocktail 2 alongside Shahid Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna.Directed by Homi Adajania and co-written by Luv Ranjan and Tarun Jain, the film is available to watch on Netflix.
