Kriti Sanon Responds to the Magazine Covershoot Controversy

The actor has been getting a lot of brickbats for her controversial covershoot for ‘Cosmopolitan India’.

Kriti Sanon’s latest shoot as the cover girl for Cosmopolitan India’s August issue has been earning her a lot of brickbats. Pictures of her against the prop of a giraffe hanging from the ceiling quickly sparked a controversy online with social media users commenting on how disturbing the portrayal is.

Kriti, in a conversation with The Quint, has responded to the uproar:

It was a normal photoshoot in a palace kind of hotel in London; the decor was in the wildlife zone. It’s all fake. I am an animal lover.
