On Raksha Bandhan, Kriti Sanon shared a picture with her sister Nupur Sanon and gave a playful response to the ongoing ‘Rakhi Fashion Committee’ discussion on social media. She said that the festival is truly about relationships and emotions. Meanwhile, several Bollywood stars also shared pictures and heartfelt messages with their siblings.
Shared a picture with sister Nupur
Kriti Sanon shared a picture with her sister Nupur Sanon on Raksha Bandhan. In it, both their hands are visible, and they are seen tying Rakhis to each other. Along with this, Kriti wrote, “While the Rakhi Fashion Committee meeting is going on, we are focusing on the things that truly matter. Happy Rakhi to everyone.”
Kriti’s post comes at a time when a debate has erupted on social media over one of her Raksha Bandhan advertisements. Kangana Ranaut had also reacted to the controversy. Responding to it, Kriti said that culture lies in the heart, not in clothes. The advertisement was later removed following the criticism.
Emphasized relationships over the fashion debate
Through her new post, Kriti focused on the emotional side of the festival instead of adding to the controversy. By referring to the ‘Rakhi Fashion Committee’, she kept the tone light and made it clear that, for her, Raksha Bandhan is about the value of relationships rather than clothes or appearance.
Kriti and Nupur’s close bond has also been visible on social media in the past. The sisters have regularly shared pictures and affectionate messages for each other on Raksha Bandhan. In 2023, too, Kriti shared a video with Nupur and wished her a Happy Raksha Bandhan.
Previous debate linked to Kriti’s post
Actress Kangana Ranaut had questioned Kriti Sanon’s Raksha Bandhan advertisement. Kangana said her objection was not primarily about Kriti’s clothes, but about the way Raksha Bandhan traditions were presented in the advertisement. In response, Kriti said that culture lies in the heart, not in clothes.
She said festivals should be viewed through emotions, love and care for one another. Later, the jewellery brand removed the advertisement, saying that it had never intended to hurt anyone’s sentiments.
Bollywood stars also shared Rakhi pictures
On Raksha Bandhan, several Bollywood stars shared pictures with their siblings on social media.
Kangana Ranaut celebrated Rakhi with her brother Akshat and wrote an emotional message for her family.
Kangana wrote that she prays to God that this bond of love tied on her brother’s wrist always protects him. She wished for Akshat to serve their parents, uphold the family’s dignity, ensure his wife’s well-being, and always protect his children. She further added that she always wants to see her brother healthy and prosperous, and for her, Akshat is the reflection of their parents.
Ranbir Kapoor’s sister Riddhima Kapoor Sahni shared an old childhood photo to wish her brother a Happy Rakhi. In the picture, Riddhima and Ranbir are seen with their mother Neetu Kapoor.
Preity Zinta also shared pictures with her brothers and called them her ‘partners in crime’.
Genelia Deshmukh gave a glimpse of her relationship with her brother in a fun way while tying him a Rakhi.
The true beauty of the festival lies in relationships
Meanwhile, Kriti Sanon’s post offers a light-hearted message, distinct from the ongoing debate about fashion and tradition on Raksha Bandhan. While celebrating her relationship with her sister, she tried to convey that the beauty of the festival lies not just in attire, but in the time spent with family, love, and memories
