Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has weighed in on the social media dispute between actors Kriti Sanon and Kangana Ranaut over Sanon's attire in a brand campaign. The disagreement began as an argument over the advertisement and escalated when Ranaut criticised Sanon's clothing choices.
Gandhi posted on X, saying, "What a woman wears is her choice, not a measure of her character." He did not name either actor but appeared to defend Sanon's right to dress as she pleases. The post has drawn mixed reactions online.
Indian Opinion Analysis
This is not the first time a political figure has stepped into a celebrity social media spat, but Gandhi's intervention signals an attempt to connect with younger, digitally active voters on gender issues. The Lok Sabha elections are months away, and both the Congress and the BJP have been courting the entertainment industry. Gandhi's statement aligns with his party's broader messaging on individual freedoms, while Ranaut, a BJP MP, has often taken conservative positions on women's attire. The episode is unlikely to have a lasting political impact, but it keeps both figures in the public conversation ahead of the election campaign season.
