Several social media users questioned whether her outfit choice was appropriate for a traditional Hindu festival. A user criticizing her look wrote, "After Kriti senon, now Celina Jaitley celebrating Rakshabandhan in revealing clothes. Look at her attire for a Hindu festival, it is demeaning the culture and tradition"
Another user commented on the ongoing online debate surrounding festive clothing choices, "After Kriti Sanon, now Celina Jaitly too will have some people starting to say good and bad things about her attire on this Raksha Bandhan day. People are raising questions about respect for the traditions and culture of the Hindu festival, but in today's times, people wear mixed dresses; no one should have any objection to that, yet some devotees will start their widow's lament on this too and say"
Highlighting the recent pattern of online controversies, a third user wrote, "Hello Culture protectors. Your sister Celina Jaitley is celebrating Rakshabandhan with open cleavage. What will you say now?"
