'Bro wait...': Kangana trolls Rahul Gandhi's 'smash the patriarchy' talk
The advertisement was pulled down on Wednesday.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP and actor Kangana Ranaut responded to Congress MP Rahul Gandhi's "smash the patriarchy" remark, following controversy over actress Kriti Sanon's attire in a Raksha Bandhan advertisement. The advertisement, featuring Sanon in an Indo-Western outfit, was pulled after receiving backlash. Ranaut posted an Instagram story on Saturday, mocking Gandhi with caricatures, one declaring "Smash the patriarchy" while Ranaut interjected with "Bro, wait.
Bharat Mata ki Jay. Shuru karte hai," seemingly mocking performative feminism. This came hours after Gandhi offered support to Sanon, who was the target of the controversy over the advertisement. The 36-second video sparked debate on issues like personal choice, cultural representation, and the true essence of the Raksha Bandhan festival.
Ranaut questioned Sanon's outfit choice for representing a traditional Indian festival, deeming it "creepy." Sanon countered, emphasizing that the essence of festivals lies in emotions and tradition, not clothes. The controversy led to the advertisement being pulled down by Giva Jewellery, stating they did not intended to hurt any sentiments.
