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 attributed to him did not belong to him.
- Following social media criticism, GIVA withdrew its Raksha Bandhan campaign featuring Kriti after users argued her bralette-style blouse outfit 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." GIVA stated it had "highest regard and deep respect" for Indian culture.
- GIVA explained the campaign intended to celebrate Raksha Bandhan with pets and did not intend to hurt sentiments, while Nigam refuted the false attribution by clarifying he does not maintain an X account.
- While the advertisement has been withdrawn, the debate continues to generate discussion online, illustrating how media outlets sometimes rely on unverified social media posts when reporting on public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.
