Kareena Kapoor Avoids Outfit Question Amid Kriti Sanon Controversy; Meghna Gulzar Responds

Kriti's ad, featuring a contemporary take on the festival with an Indo-Western outfit, faced social media backlash for being inappropriate. Actress Kangana Ranaut also criticized the campaign's styling choices.
