Kriti Sanon celebrated Rakshabandhan with her sister Nupur Sanon and seems to take a joke at her festive outfits. She also posted pictures of her Rakhi celebrations on social media and made a note of what she loves about the festival.
Citing her appearance as a Rakshabandhan advert in a video, Kriti is at the centre of a firestorm on social media. A lot of social media users had criticised her outfit for the campaign and she had also addressed the issue in the last few days saying festivals are more about feelings, traditions and relationships than clothes themselves.
Kriti Sanon’s ‘Rakhi Fashion Committee’ Remark Grabs Attention
Kriti posted an image of her and Nupur’s hands covered in rakhis. She wrote, “While the Rakhi fashion committee is still in session 🙈 We’re focusing on what really matters. ❤️👭 Happy Rakhi to all ❤️.”
The playful reference to the “Rakhi fashion committee” was instantly noticed, especially after her recent festive advertisement was criticised. Instead of taking particular comment directly, Kriti took it to humour and moved the attention to Rakshabandhan.
Her message also stressed the emotional aspect of the celebration. Kriti put the focus on siblings and traditions of the festival by sharing the moment with Nupur.
Kriti Had Earlier Spoken About Festivals And Clothing
The conversation on Kriti’s advertisement went up because of the outfit she wore in the campaign. The actress appeared in an off-white ensemble with a bralette-like blouse, a cape and a draped skirt. Some viewers liked the modern look, others questioned whether it was appropriate for a Rakshabandhan advertisement.
It was Kriti who had previously weighed in on the issue. Festival significance shouldn’t be restricted to the clothes worn during celebrations, she said. According to the actress, festivals are about the feelings and the meaning to the traditions.
Her latest Rakhi post seems to echo some of that sentiment but in a more playful way. By mentioning the “fashion committee,” Kriti acknowledged the ongoing conversation without letting it take precedence over her festive message.
Rakshabandhan Advertisement Also Drew Reactions Over Pet Scene
And the criticism of the advertisement wasn’t limited to Kriti’s outfit. Another sequence in the campaign attracted attention online, in particular a part involving a dog.
In the advertisement, Kriti is shown tying a rakhi to a dog after the pet barks. The sequence was contained within the larger theme of Rakshabandhan and the affection associated with the festival. But some social media users disagreed with the portrayal and accused the campaign of making light of Indian festive traditions.
As a result, the advertisement made a lot of discussion for a number of reasons and reactions were about the fashion style and the pet sequence.
Kriti has not addressed the criticism on the dog scene in her latest social media update. Instead, her new post is focused on her Rakshabandhan celebration with Nupur and the sibling bond they share.
Kriti And Nupur Sanon Celebrate The Festival Together
Kriti and Nupur often share their relationship on social media. Their latest Rakshabandhan post saw their close relationship in motion as they celebrate the festival together.
The actress’s decision to make the day personal is as the advertising debate continues online. Her caption implies that she’d rather be around family, love and tradition for these things she loves as she tries to get together as a whole.
Rakshabandhan is a festival which is celebrated with siblings. It has changed in its celebration, and in the process families have adopted different customs and styles and this is still an emotional event.
With her latest post, Kriti seems to have brought that emotional connection into the picture. Her reference to “Rakhi fashion committee” adds a funny touch, and the line about “what really matters” communicates her broader message.
The advertisement controversy will continue to generate reactions online, but Kriti’s Rakshabandhan update puts her relationship with Nupur at the center of the conversation. For her, the festival seems less about debating an outfit and more about celebrating the people and emotions at the heart of the occasion.
