BJP MP and actor Kangana Ranaut has criticised Kriti Sanon's outfit in a Raksha Bandhan advertisement for jewellery brand GIVA. In an Instagram Story, Ranaut questioned why Sanon would tie a rakhi while dressed in what she called a "bikini/undergarments" and described the ad as "intentionally creepy." She said women today have many clothing options and the styling choice was inappropriate for the festival.

The advertisement, titled Furever Sibling, shows Sanon celebrating Raksha Bandhan with her brother and also tying a rakhi to her pet dog. She wears an off-white bralette-style blouse with a cape and draped skirt. Some social media users had already criticised the outfit before Ranaut's comments. Sanon has not responded publicly to the criticism.
Both sources report the same facts without taking a side. Times of India leads with the controversy and the social media reaction before noting Sanon has not responded. Bollywood Hungama adds context about the campaign's pet-friendly theme and notes the outfit is a bralette-style blouse, which undercuts the "bikini" label. The uniform coverage means the story stays at the level of a celebrity fashion debate, no larger cultural or political angle is pushed. Sanon's non-response leaves the dispute unresolved.
