A section of Indian netizens are miffed with Bollywood star Kareena Kapoor Khan’s latest advertisement. The Jab We Met star, who is the face of a jewelry brand, recently unveiled a picture promoting the auspicious Hindu festival of Akshaya Tritiya.
In the picture, Kareena dons a glittering lehenga accessorised with gold jewelry, but there is no bindi on her forehead; that has upset the Twitterati. Several netizens even called to boycott the brand and trolled the Ra.One diva.
In the advertisement for Akshaya Tritiya, Kareena is seen wearing an embellished pink lehnga, paired with an elaborate diamond neckpiece, huge earrings, and a maang tika. But what caught everyone’s attention was the absence of Bindi on Kareena’s forehead.
Netizens slammed the brand for promoting a Hindu festival without a proper depiction of Hindu married women. They argued for roping in a ‘muslim married woman’ for the launch the Hindu festival ad. This has created a rage on social media platforms with several hashtags such as #BoycottMalabarGold, #BoycottKareenaKapoorKhan and #NoBindiNoBusiness becoming top trends.
Earlier the Kambakht Ishq diva was trolled for looking old at Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt’s wedding.
