She wrote, &#8220;The essence of festivals is not in the clothes you wear; it is in the emotions and meaning you hold for the traditions. Rakshabandhan is a bond of protection. My sister and I tie rakhi to each other. We know we can protect each other no less than a brother would have. We pray for each other&#8217;s health, happiness &amp; long life. And for us, this prayer and promise extends to our dogs too!&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>The actress didn&#8217;t stop there. She went on to question the constant policing of women&#8217;s clothing choices, she added,<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>&#8220;After all, they are family! Also, when will we stop telling women what to wear?? Ethnic fashion has evolved over the years, but still a woman&#8217;s respect for her culture is measured with just her clothes!!&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>She ended her note with a powerful line: &#8220;Culture &amp; Traditions are in her heart, not in her neckline!&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/><\/p>\n<div data-pos=\"0\" class=\"id-r-component iIpbx undefined  &#10;        \">\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Kriti Sanon\" msid=\"133503488\" imgsize=\"141738\" resizemode=\"4\" width=\"\" title=\"\" placeholdersrc=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/photo\/83033472.cms\" offsetvertical=\"0\" placeholdermsid=\"47529300\" type=\"thumb\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/photo\/imgsize-141738,msid-133503488\/kriti-sanon.jpg\" data-api-prerender=\"true\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><h2>Kriti Sanon&#8217;s work front<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>On the work front, Kriti Sanon was last seen in &#8216;Cocktail 2&#8217;, directed by Homi Adajania.
