The highly anticipated film Adipurush, directed by Om Raut, has been making waves since its first poster was unveiled. Unfortunately, controversies seem to be following the project closely.
Most recently, lead actress Kriti Sanon and director Om Raut found themselves in hot water after a goodbye kiss at the Tirupati temple, which drew severe criticism on social media.
Now, Kriti Sanon has sparked yet another controversy with a recent Instagram post, receiving heavy backlash from netizens.
KRITI SANON SHARES A PHOTO
Kriti Sanon, who is eagerly preparing for the release of Adipurush, shared two pictures on her Instagram account.
The first image featured herself in the role of Janaki, while the second was a nostalgic throwback photo of her mother, Geeta Sanon.
In the caption, she referred to herself as "Sita Maa, My Janaki" and expressed love for her mother, addressing her as "Geeta Maa, My Jaan."
NETIZENS DIDN'T LIKE KRITI CALLING HERSELF 'SITA MA'
However, this comparison did not sit well with the netizens, who immediately criticized the actress for equating herself with the revered character of Janaki.
Social media platforms were flooded with negative comments aimed at Kriti Sanon. Users implored her not to compare herself to Sita Maa and even advised her to read the five verses of Ramayana before making such claims.
Some users questioned how she could consider herself to be Sita Maa, while others expressed their disappointment at her audacity.
One user expressed their views, stating, "Please don't compare yourself with Sita Maa." Another commented, "Read the five verses of Ramayana first before claiming such titles."
A third user wrote, "Where did you suddenly become Sita Maa?"
The comparisons didn't stop there, as another user remarked, "No matter how expensive the movie is, no one can replace Deepika Chikhlia Ma'am as Mother Sita and Arun Govil Ji as Lord Rama."
