Giva’s ad row raises a bigger question about brands backing their own campaigns

Lifestyle

  • Giva's Raksha Bandhan ad drew backlash over Kriti Sanon's plunging neckline and her tying a rakhi to a dog.
  • Sanon defended it herself, saying culture is in the heart, not the neckline; the brand took the safer route.
  • A ThePrint column argues Giva approved and published the ad, so defending it was the brand's job too.
  • It places the row alongside earlier backlashes against Tanishq, Fabindia and Manyavar's kanyadaan campaign.
