@arpispeaks This is roast and counter roast...and not the trolling... She did well, her response was good and Samay stood up clapped not because Kashmiris hindus ran away from Kashmir but were forced to leave.
Decorum isn’t oppression, and basic cultural respect isn’t 'policing.' Trying to defend a lack of festive solemnity by turning it into a debate on necklines is sheer deflection. Raksha Bandhan carries deep spiritual gravity.
Dear Kriti,
Stop hiding behind victimhood. The backlash isn't about your GENDER, it's about your blatant disrespect to our sacred festival of Raksha Bandhan.
When male stars like Milind Soman faced legal cases and public fury for their controversial photoshoots, they didn't hide behind gender or play the victim card.
Your personal freedom ends where commercial Ad begins.
Off-camera, wear whatever you like, roam naked nobody cares. But sexualizing a sacred festival for a brand paycheck crosses a line. If a male actor stood bare-chested performing the exact same ritual in an ad, the outrage would be identical. Context dictates appropriateness.
Attire is the visual identity of culture. Stripping a festival of its sacred aesthetic isn't "modernization", it's cheap commodification.
Respecting a tradition means honoring its context, not distorting it for profit.
@kritisanon
We also wear Western dresses, @kritisanon ...absolutely nothing wrong with that. But there’s a difference between wearing what you like and knowing what is appropriate where.
If 'my body, my rules' means there should be 0 dressing etiquette, then should people wear bikinis to corporate offices or shirtless men walk into workplaces the same way? Will you like it.... Your spot boy coming shirtless to you ( saying my body my rules) ..
Should schools and govt institutions also have no dress etiquette.
Of course not. Because society has certain norms, occasions have certain etiquette, and places have certain standards.
Our Hindu festivals are no different. They carry their own sanctity, traditions and cultural significance. We respect everyone’s personal choices, but that doesn’t mean every place, occasion or Hindu festival needs to be stripped of its dignity.
I dare you try the same in EID.. I know you won't.. so Stop playing with our Dharma.
Hi @kritisanon
There is a reason why clothes for Holi are different from Diwali. There is a reason why people dress differently for a wedding than halloween. Culture, traditions and events have relevant clothing, sweets, food and they are defined by what is appropriate according to them and what's not.
Stop justifying absolutely ridiculous dressing meant only to grab eyeballs(and you're getting paid for it) with idea of people telling women what to wear.
You wear all this in all your movies because you hardly know how to act and no one gives a damn because they know this is the only way you survive in the business.
But please spare our festivals
It is crazy that while the brother who seems younger to you in the ad knows well what right dressing for occasion for rakshabandhan is, but you don't.
The ad maker capitalized on sexualizing you by making you wear this and you did it happily for the fee but now giving sermons to those who are only expressing their opinion about your dress.
Bring better AI lines next time. Calling cleavage neckline won't make you look any better.
@KanwalSibal Why shud we pay even a heed to such reports. Not worth India's time. All these UN institutes we have always been biased towards India. It is high time for us to get rattled by such reports.
Dear honourable @narendramodi
We need a high level intervention in this issue as the srate administration has been unable to do anything for years now.
#WATCH | Haryana: On severe waterlogging in Gurugram, author-columnist Suhel Seth says, "It is an absolute shame that all of us who live in Gurugram live in the most pitiable state. We live in a state of absolute misery; there are floods every monsoon and every monsoon promises are made by every Govt, by every municipal official - that things will be sorted. But it doesn't happen. Every year they are dying because they are electrocuted in flooded waters, traffic has come to a standstill...Tell me who wants to invest in India if this is the state of its smart cities. Do we not have solutions...This repeats year after year...The apathy is galling. What is worse is that we, as citizens, raise these issues but no one cares...Why should it take some of our brightest engineers so long to fix drainage and sewage? 1) Rampant corruption in granting building licenses. 2) They are being given licenses at will. 3) There is no accountability...It is an absolute shame...What kind of Brand India are we building?...The people don't matter anymore. We are losing the plot...We have a problem for every solution; we are not building solutions...I would urge the PM, people in Govt - please wake up the people who are running Haryana or for that matter any city..."
