Sanon ad sparks backlash for rakhi on dog and outfit
Entertainment
Kriti Sanon's new Raksha Bandhan ad is making waves for all the wrong reasons. She ties a rakhi on her pet dog, which many called disrespectful to tradition.
Her choice of outfit, a bralette-style blouse with a cape and skirt, also upset viewers who felt it didn't fit the festival vibe.
Sanon silent as social media criticizes
Social media quickly lit up with criticism, with users calling the look "extremely shameful" and questioning why traditional elements like a puja thali or tilak were missing.
Others weren't comfortable with including pets in the ritual, saying it missed the spirit of Raksha Bandhan.
So far, Kriti has not commented on the backlash, leaving fans and critics debating whether this modern take went too far.
