In the post she penned a note, “I pray to God that this bond of love which I have tied on your hands, may you always protect you, serve our parents, increase the dignity of our family, bless your wife always, protect your children, and be satisfied with life forever. My dear brother, may I always see you healthy and prosperous, for me you are the key of my parents, may I always get your love and protection. Best wishes to all brothers and sisters on this favorite festival.”

Kangana Ranaut’s feud with Kriti Sanon on Raksha Bandhan ad
In the recent chat with Decode live, Kangana Ranaut had reacted to how Raksha Bandhan is a pious festival and an expression to Hindu culture taking a dig at Kriti Sanon’s outfit and representation in the GIVA ad. Kangana had also shared that the video didn’t resonate with Hindu rituals, she said, “Everyone was appauled, I feel bralette was a minor detail. There were so many things missing, neither were parents, halwa puri, dhoop, Akshat, teeka and so many such important things that we see in the festival. In the name of aesthetics you cannot normalised everything. Rakhi won’t happen without a teeka. A festival is an aesthetic expression of culture and a civilation.”
Reacting to the backlash, the jewellery brand had then withdrew their ad and shared a statement that they didn’t intend to hurt any sentiments regarding the traditions and cultural values.
