Kriti Sanon Spotted For FIRST Time Amid Raksha Bandhan AD Controversy; Actress Remains Unfazed, Smiles At Paps
The singer said the X account quoted in the report was not his as GIVA withdrew the campaign after social media criticism.
- On Thursday, singer Sonu Nigam denied making comments regarding the controversy over a GIVA advertisement featuring actor Kriti Sanon, clarifying that an X account claiming he called for restraint did not belong to him.
- Following social media criticism, GIVA withdrew its Raksha Bandhan campaign featuring Kriti, as users argued her outfit—a bralette-style blouse—was inappropriate for a festival-related advertisement.
- Actor Kangana Ranaut described the look as a "bikini," while Kriti defended her appearance, writing, "Culture & Traditions are in her heart, not in her neckline." The brand reaffirmed its "highest regard and deep respect" for Indian culture.
- GIVA explained the campaign intended to celebrate Raksha Bandhan with pets, not hurt sentiments, while Nigam refuted the false attribution by noting he does not maintain an account on X.
- While the advertisement has been withdrawn, the debate continues to generate discussion online, illustrating how media outlets sometimes rely on unverified social media posts when reporting on public figures.
