In outrage over Kriti Sanon’s rakhi outfit, the real indecency is in the eye of the beholder

A short, embellished, sleeveless blouse, a cape to cover it, and a long, full-length skirt were the components of Kriti Sanon's all-white outfit in a recent advertisement. The advertisement aimed to celebrate a cherished festival by showing a grown woman tying a rakhi to her younger brother, with a pet dog donning a special rakhi of his own.

The short blouse received significant attention and outrage, with even a woman Parliamentarian criticizing it as being akin to wearing bikini/undergarments. However, many argue that such outfits are common at weddings, with women wearing backless blouses, spaghetti straps, and tummy-baring lehenga cholis. The controversy surrounding the advertisement highlights the judgmental nature of some people, who focus on objecting to the outfit rather than appreciating the concept of evolving family traditions.

Sanon stood by her outfit, stating that culture and traditions are in a woman's heart, not her neckline. The advertisement's brand pulled it off the air the following day, but the true value lies in recognizing that traditions are evolving and we should adapt accordingly.
