Actor Kriti Sanon has responded to BJP MP Kangana Ranaut’s criticism of her Raksha Bandhan advertisement and choice of outfit. Kangana had called the ad “creepy” and questioned whether a woman would tie Rakhi to her brother while dressed in a bikini. Hitting back, Kriti said the essence of the festival is not in clothes, adding that ethnic fashion has evolved and that “tradition is in the heart, not in the neckline of clothes.” The comments have sparked a fresh debate over tradition, fashion and how women dress during festivals.
