The advertisement sparked a debate online, with some questioning the choice of attire for a campaign associated with the festival of Raksha Bandhan. Apart from Kriti’s outfit, the inclusion of the dog also irked several netizens. In the advertisement, the dog is seen barking as Kriti ties a traditional rakhi to him. The actress then extends the festive gesture to her pet, treating the animal as part of the family and tying a rakhi to the dog.
Netizens React
Netizens expressed their displeasure over the advertisement, with one user writing, “I was shocked seeing this ad yesterday. What nonsense?” Another criticised the campaign, calling it “extremely shameful” and alleging that brands often get away with such advertisements because people do not raise objections.
A third user questioned Kriti’s traditional styling, writing, “Where is Puja Ki thali? Why are you wearing bra in front of your brother? Is this a Raksha Bandhan? Where is Tilak?” Another user also criticised her outfit, questioning its relevance to a Raksha Bandhan ceremony and blaming both the actress and the brand for the concept.

It is bollywood bhaands
Rakshabandhan is one of the most pious and revered festival to celebrate the love and support that exists between a brother and a sister.

To sexualise sister in an ad depicting this festival, has an ideology written all over it. Forget covering head during tilak and Raakhi,… pic.twitter.com/f8mDfISJvp

I don’t know anyone who dresses like this for a rakhi ceremony, even if its at home. This is all on Kriti Sanon, the wannabe stylist and the brand that paid them both. Hope they get roasted online for it, Ms I’m-so-sexy-I-gotta-strip-every-time. Idiots.#RakshaBandhan pic.twitter.com/bNCPsn2UA3
