Kangana Ranaut criticises Kriti Sanon’s Raksha Bandhan advertisement that features tying rakhi in a bikini. In her remarks, Ranaut calls the ad “intentionally creepy,” adding to a growing controversy around the campaign.

The outlets report that Kriti Sanon has not yet responded publicly to the criticism or to Ranaut’s comments. NDTV and India Today present Ranaut’s reaction as the central development, focusing on the wording of her critique and the public backlash it has triggered. Both accounts frame the controversy as centered on how the ad presents the traditional festival act of tying rakhi.

While the reports focus on Ranaut’s statements, they also note the lack of a direct reply from Sanon, leaving the dispute largely one-sided at the time of publication. The story continues to develop as audiences and media discuss the ad’s intent and appropriateness.
