Kim’s fan loved her look and praised her. But some were critical of the look. While her mother wrote in a comment. “Sooooo beautiful!!!”, another person commented, “Is now a good time to mention that the Om is a sacred symbol to Hindus and not just an accessory?”
Another netizen said”Where’s Kangana when we need her,” referring to actor Kangana Ranaut, who was recently banned from the platform. A third person wrote in the comments, “STOP CULTURAL APPROPRIATION OF INDIAN CULTURE!!! WHAT’S UP WITH THOSE EARINGS GIRLLLL???”
Kim was also criticised last year for wearing a ‘maang tika’ while in a photo shoot.
