BOYCOTT Kareena Kapoor Khan Trends On Twitter After Netizens Lash Out At The Actress For ‘Hurting Hindu Sentiments’ In A New Malabar Gold Ad
Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor Khan has miffed and offended a certain section of people with her new advertisement for the brand Malabar Gold and Diamonds. The actress donned traditional attire with elaborate jewelry but without a bindi on her forehead in the commercial that was released on the occasion of Akshaya Tritiya. Many users have slammed Kareena for allegedly hurting Hindu sentiments by not wearing a bindi. 

Several netizens took to Twitter to lash out at the actress and asserted that for a married woman donning a bindi is part of the Hindu tradition. Thus, she has apparently hurt the sentiments of Hindus. #BoycottKareena Kapoor and #BoycottMalabarGold have been trending on the micro-blogging site with users expressing their anger.  Sharing a picture of Kareena from the ad, one irate user tweeted, “Every Hindu woman puts bindi on her forehead as foremost adornment be it festival.But advertisement features Kareena without bindi.This is an insult to Hindu religion.#MalabarGold & Diamonds is disregarding Hindu religious traditions.‼ #No_Bindi_No_Business #Boycott_MalabarGold.”
