Disha Patani Faces Social Media Backlash Over Ganpati Look, Users Compare It to Kriti Sanon Controversy

Disha Patani became the subject of social media criticism after attending the Ambani family’s Ganpati celebrations on Ganesh Chaturthi 2026. The actor arrived in a red traditional ensemble featuring an embroidered ghagra, a matching deep-cut blouse and a dupatta draped over one shoulder.

While several people admired her festive appearance, some social media users criticised the outfit and questioned whether they considered it suitable for a religious celebration. Videos of Disha’s arrival quickly circulated online, triggering a range of reactions.

Disha Patani’s Red Lehenga Look at Ganpati Celebrations

For the celebration, Disha opted for a striking red ghagra featuring intricate embroidery. She paired it with a matching blouse with a plunging neckline and styled a red dupatta over one shoulder.

Statement earrings, bangles and loose, flowing hair completed the look. The actor was seen posing for photographers as she arrived at the celebrations.

However, attention soon shifted from her fashion choices to criticism from some social media users.

One comment directly referenced the recent controversy surrounding Kriti Sanon’s Raksha Bandhan advertisement, saying:

“Kriti sanon ko troll krne walo zra yha bhi dekhlo”

Another user wrote:

“Everyone is in decent dress-up but she can never wear a fully covered dress.”

A third comment criticised Disha’s recurring fashion choices, writing:

“Koi bhi festival ho ye ek type ka hi blouse pehnti hai (sic).”

Other comments similarly questioned her outfit, with users writing remarks such as “At least she could have worn something nicer today” and “Can this women for once wear decent clothes?”

Another comment said:

“Isko koi dhang ke kapde dila do please!!!”

One more user asked:

“Ganpati celebration ke liye ayi h ya song perform krne”

These reactions represent the opinions of individual social media users and do not establish any broader consensus about Disha’s appearance or the event.

Disha Patani and Kriti Sanon’s Festival Outfit Controversies

The online discussion around Disha’s Ganpati appearance comes shortly after Kriti Sanon’s Raksha Bandhan advertisement controversy.

In August 2026, Kriti faced criticism over a campaign for jewellery brand GIVA. The advertisement featured the actor in an ivory bralette-style blouse with a cape and draped skirt while celebrating Raksha Bandhan and tying a rakhi to a dog.

The campaign sparked debate online, with some users questioning the styling and presentation of the festival. Kangana Ranaut, who is also a BJP MP, criticised the campaign’s portrayal.

Kriti subsequently defended the advertisement and pushed back against the focus on her clothing. Sharing her response on Instagram, she wrote:

“Culture & Traditions are in her heart, not in her neckline.”

GIVA later withdrew the advertisement from its media platforms. The brand said it respected Indian culture and traditions and subsequently clarified that safety concerns involving its stores and employees were also connected to its decision.

Social Media Debate Around Celebrity Festival Looks

The reactions to Disha’s Ganpati appearance once again highlight how celebrity fashion can become part of wider online debates around festivals, cultural traditions and personal expression.

While some users believe celebrities should adopt more conservative styling for religious occasions, others argue that clothing choices remain a matter of individual preference. In Disha’s case, the criticism is limited to social media reactions to her appearance and does not indicate any official objection from the event organisers.

What Is Disha Patani Working On?

Disha is also set to make her Hollywood debut with The Portal of Force, an action-fantasy project directed by Kevin Spacey.
