Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut has criticized fellow actress Kriti Sanon over her recent Raksha Bandhan advertisement. Raksha Bandhan is a popular Indian festival that celebrates the bond between brothers and sisters. During the festival, sisters tie a rakhi, a sacred thread, around their brother's wrist as a symbol of love and protection.
In the advertisement, Kriti Sanon appeared wearing a bikini while tying the rakhi.
