Kangana Ranaut, who recently criticised Kriti Sanon over her outfit in a Raksha Bandhan advertisement, is now facing backlash herself. After Kangana spoke about Kriti’s clothing choices and questioned whether the outfit was appropriate for the festival, social media users have brought up her old posts and started comparing her past fashion choices with her recent comments.
Kangana recently shared her views on Kriti’s Raksha Bandhan look, saying that women should not be judged for what they choose to wear. However, her comments have sparked a fresh debate online, with users asking whether the same standards should apply to everyone.
Soon after the controversy surrounding Kriti, some old social media posts from Kangana resurfaced. In one of the posts shared a few years ago, Kangana was seen wearing a white outfit featuring a tiny strap top paired with high-waisted white trousers. While sharing the picture, she appeared to be expressing her views about women’s clothing choices and the freedom to wear whatever they want.
In another post, Kangana shared the same outfit and jokingly suggested that the look was suitable enough for her to go to the office. Her old posts are now being circulated online as users question the difference between her previous fashion choices and her recent criticism of Kriti Sanon.
The controversy has therefore taken an interesting turn. Kangana had been questioning the discussion around Kriti’s outfit and the way people were judging her for what she wore during a Raksha Bandhan advertisement. Now, social media users are turning the same conversation towards Kangana and asking whether celebrities should be consistent when discussing fashion, culture and women’s clothing choices.
At the same time, wearing a particular outfit at one point in life does not necessarily mean a person cannot later have a different opinion about fashion or cultural representation. However, because Kangana’s recent comments were specifically about clothing and tradition, her old posts have naturally become part of the online debate.
The situation has once again started a larger conversation about whether women should be allowed to make their own clothing choices without being constantly judged or compared.
What do you think about this controversy? Is Kangana being called out fairly because of her old posts, or should her previous fashion choices have nothing to do with her opinion about Kriti Sanon’s Raksha Bandhan outfit?
