Hello @kritisanon,
1. Don't play the woman card. You were not criticized for your gender, but for your choice of clothes in an ad. You are bringing gender into this to make it a women's issue and seek wider support from women and male feminists. It's not a gender issue. Even Ranveer Singh was criticized on Twitter for a nude photoshoot. He didn't play the gender card.
2. Personal choice stops where public commercialization begins. What you wear off-camera is entirely your prerogative. You've been in this business for years. Until now, nobody bothered you about your choice of clothes. You know why? Because nobody actually cares what you wear. The outrage here comes from a commercial choice: sexualizing a deeply sacred festival celebrated by millions. Context dictates appropriateness. If a male actor appeared bare-chested while portraying the brother in that exact scene, the public pushback would be identical. The issue is sacredness and context, not gender.
3. Claiming "clothes don't define culture" directly contradicts human history. Attire is a foundational visual language of every global tradition, you cannot wear a Kimono and call it Indian ethnic wear, nor can you strip a festival of its sacred aesthetic without altering its significance. If attire truly has zero bearing on cultural respect, then tomorrow is Eid. Can you wear that exact same outfit you wore in that ad and wish Eid Mubarak? You said clothes don't define the respect you have for culture in your heart. So do it and we'll take our criticism back.
Respecting a tradition means honoring its context, not commodifying it under the guise of fashion.
@PoojaPriyam_ Yes bec that was the only thing highlighted, to celebrate a pious festival of brother & sister love, cleavage is all what was thrown at our face. They missed to make the brother shirtless as well. That would be ideal for you. Next time wear a bikini to a wedding/ job interview/
@AMIT_GUJJU You’ll not know the values of Hindu culture @kritisanon , bec you sold yours for few pennies. For all we care, do not wear anything while you tie Rakhi to your brother in the name of modernity and forwardness, just please keep that sick attitude away from public platforms🙏
#Giva advertisement featuring actress Kriti Sanon for Rakshabandhan is NOT a lingerie ad, for the uninitiated.
Yes, Kriti has a great body and looks lovely. But in this advertisement, she is dressed in a skimpy outfit while celebrating Rakshabandhan with her sibling and with Giva jewellery.
Perhaps Kriti doesn’t realise that Rakshabandhan is a deeply rooted religious and cultural tradition in India. Perhaps she doesn’t understand that dressing appropriately for the occasion is also part of respecting its cultural context.
And surely, Hindu festivals do not need to be sexualised to sell jewellery.
Kriti has plenty of other opportunities to showcase her body and glamour. A festival celebrating the sacred bond between siblings probably isn’t one of them.
@reliancejio spamming calls received every day has reached to a level of harassment. Even 1909 doesn’t work. It’s scary to know a level at which you guys sell customers data. @JM_Scindia@DoT_India
