Kriti Sanon Controversies

The Adipurush Backlash (June 2023): Kriti starred as Janaki (Goddess Sita) in the multi-crore mythological movie Adipurush, a cinematic adaptation of the Ramayana. Upon its release, the film faced immense backlash, trolling, legal challenges, and boycott calls from audiences across the country. The public outrage focused heavily on what viewers described as pedestrian, disrespectful dialogues, subpar visual effects, and a non-traditional presentation of sacred cultural characters. Reflecting on the aftermath, Kriti later expressed that the negative response and box office failure were deeply disheartening, reiterating that the team never intended to hurt anyone’s religious sentiments.
The Tirupati Temple Farewell (June 2023): During the promotional tour for Adipurush, a brief video clip of Kriti Sanon and director Om Raut outside the Tirupati temple premises went viral online, triggering a localized cultural controversy. The footage showed the director giving Kriti a goodbye kiss on the cheek outside the temple entrance. Conservative groups and temple authorities heavily criticized the gesture, publicly claiming that such displays of affection violated the sanctity and decorum of a revered religious site.
The Raksha Bandhan Ad Row (August – September 2026): Kriti Sanon was at the centre of a nationwide debate regarding a festive commercial for the jewellery brand GIVA. In the ad, she was seen wearing an Indo-Western outfit consisting of a bralette-style blouse and a cape while tying a rakhi to her brother and a pet dog. Online critics and public figures accused the campaign of trivialising traditional Indian family values and called the attire inappropriate for the festival. Kriti Sanon defended her choice on Kriti Sanon’s Instagram, writing that festive traditions live in a woman’s heart, not in her neckline. Following aggressive reactions that raised security concerns for retail staff, the brand officially pulled the commercial. The controversy reignited weeks later when Kriti liked social media posts criticizing the public’s selective outrage over a woman’s clothing versus real-world violence against women.
