Kriti Sanon opened up about the controversy around her GIVA jewellery advertisement during an appearance on Kareena Kapoor Khan’s chat show What Women Want. The sixth season of the show is currently streaming.

The Raksha Bandhan campaign had drawn sharp reactions online over its portrayal of women. Sanon addressed the debate on the show, joking that her outfit in the ad had become like a six-person panel discussion on prime-time news.

The actor had earlier responded to the row on Instagram, where she spoke about how women’s clothing becomes a subject of public debate. Her comments on the show revisited that stand with humour.

The episode is among the most talked-about of the new season, with clips from the conversation circulating on social media. Sanon, who has several films in the pipeline, used the appearance to speak candidly about scrutiny faced by women in the public eye.

What Women Want, hosted by Kareena Kapoor Khan, features candid conversations with women achievers. The sixth season has lined up actors, entrepreneurs and sportswomen for its new episodes.
