"Why Tie Rakhi In Your Bikini?" Kangana Ranaut Calls Kriti Sanon's Ad 'Intentionally Creepy'

Actor and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut has taken a swipe at Kriti Sanon's Raksha Bandhan ad which is currently at the centre of a social media storm over the choice of clothes worn by the Cocktail 2 actor.

Kriti Sanon recently featured in a Raksha Bandhan advertisement for a jewellery brand. While celebrating the festival in the ad, the actor sported an off-white bralette-style blouse paired with a cape and a draped skirt.

A section of social media users accused the brand of making a mockery of Indian festivals, while others described Kriti Sanon's outfit as "skimpy".

Now, Kangana Ranaut has weighed in on the controversy.

While the actor didn't name Kriti Sanon in her Instagram Story, she made it clear that her comments were about the ongoing controversy around the jewellery brand ad featuring her industry colleague.

"It's a wonderful time to be a woman, our closets are full of variety of clothes, today's woman is a global woman, from cocktail dresses to lehenga cholis, jeans to saris, bikinis to salwar kameez, from all the options that are available to us today why would you tie your brother a Rakhi in your bikini/ undergarments? Where are all your styling options?" she asked.

In her Instagram Story, Kangana Ranaut also called the advertisement "intentionally creepy".

Besides the choice of clothes, the advertisement was also criticised online for tying rakhi to a dog. In the ad, Kriti is seen tying a traditional rakhi on the dog after he barks at her.

Kriti Sanon has yet to respond to the controversy or to Kangana Ranaut's comments.

The actor, however, posted a series of fun pictures amid the Raksha Bandhan ad row with her sister Nupur Sanon and rumoured partner, Kabir Bahia.
