'Can't play with creativity and tradition by mixing it',
While talking to the media, Urvashi said that cultural sentiments should not be hurt in the name of creativity. Urvashi said, 'I believe that cultural sentiments should not be hurt in the name of creativity. I don't judge anyone on the basis of their style or clothes.

'One has to be aware and alert about the festival'
Urvashi further said that crores of people celebrate the festival of Raksha Bandhan, hence we have to be more cautious about this matter. He said, 'Crores of people celebrate this festival. We are proud of our traditions. Therefore, we have to be aware and cautious that we cannot play with creativity and a sacred festival like Rakshabandhan, which has such a huge cultural significance in Indian tradition, by mixing them together. Let us tell you that Urvashi did not take Kriti's name directly anywhere in her statement but she targeted her through gestures.
The ad was removed after the controversy escalated
Famous jewelery company GIVA had featured Kriti Sanon in a special ad on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan. The jewelery company had removed this ad after the controversy escalated. While removing it from all social media platforms, the company clarified that we have the highest respect and deep respect for Indian culture, traditions and festivals. The company issued its official statement and wrote, 'We respect Indian culture, traditions and festivals very much. As a brand, we always believe in celebrating happy moments with the entire family and this time we wanted to include our pets in this love and celebration. If our recent advertisement has inadvertently hurt the sentiments of any section of the society, then we had no such intention at all. As a mark of respect, we have removed that advertisement from all media platforms.
Kriti replied on the trailer
Kriti Sanon had responded to trolling on Rakhi's ad. Sharing her Instagram story, she wrote, 'The real purpose of festivals is not just to wear nice clothes, but your feelings towards traditions and their importance matter. Rakshabandhan is a bond of protection. My sister and I tie Rakhi to each other. We know that we can protect each other like any brother would. We pray for each other's health, happiness and long life and for us, this prayer and promise extends to our dogs too! After all, they are part of the family too! And of course, when will we stop telling women what they should wear?? Ethnic fashion has changed a lot with time, but even today a woman's respect for her culture is judged only by her clothes!! Culture and traditions lie in her heart, not in the neck designs of her clothes!
