Kriti Sanon likes post questioning outrage over her outfit in Raksha Bandhan ad amid uproar over Delhi rape case
Here's the latest fashion moment turning heads:
Kriti Sanon had of late faced online trolling. (AFP) What was the Instagram post Kriti liked? The post liked by Kriti read, “The fact that r@pe, sexual ass@ult, domestic violence, and dowry de@ths do not invoke as much outrage in this country as an star showing cleavage in a festive ad says a lot about our priorities.”
Adding to this, Kriti had also responded to the criticism at the time, questioning why women's cultural values continued to be judged by their clothes. She had written on social media, “The essence of festivals is not in the clothes you wear, it is in the emotions and meaning you hold for the traditions. Rakshabandhan is a bond of protection. My sister and I tie rakhi to each other. We know we can protect each other no less than a brother would have. We pray for each other's health, happiness & long life.”
Meanwhile, She added, “And for us, this prayer and promise extends to our dogs too! Afterall, they are family! Also, when will we stop telling women what to wear?? Ethnic fashion has evolved over the years, but still a woman's respect for her culture is measured with just her clothes!! Culture & Traditions are in her heart, not in her neckline!”
Notably, Kriti's Instagram activity comes as Delhi has witnessed protests over recent cases of alleged sexual violence against women and girls. Students from several Delhi University colleges took to the streets on September 23 over safety concerns around their campuses after a 17-year-old girl was allegedly gang-raped at Aastha Kunj Park in South Delhi on September 21. The protest was led by students of Lady Shri Ram College for Women (LSR).
