Kriti recently faced backlash on social media after appearing in a jewellery brand’s Raksha Bandhan advertisement.
The ad showed Kriti wearing a bralette with a skirt as part of its festive campaign.
However, the criticism soon went beyond her outfit, with the debate taking a political and religious turn.
Some social media users accused the actor of hurting Hindu sentiments by wearing the attire in an advertisement centred on the Hindu festival of Raksha Bandhan.
