Actor Kriti Sanon faced criticism from social media users and at least one Member of Parliament regarding the outfit she wore in a recent advertisement celebrating the festival of Rakhi. The actor was shown wearing a short, sleeveless blouse paired with a cape and a full-length skirt, which some critics labeled as inappropriate for the occasion. The article argues that such reactions reflect subjective views on "Indian culture" rather than a universal standard of decency. It notes that similar styles are commonly worn by women at weddings and family gatherings across the country. The piece suggests that societal perceptions of traditional attire are evolving alongside changing family dynamics.
