“Masoom Sawaal” poster featuring Lord Krishna on Sanitary pads sparks Social media outrage

The poster of ‘Masoom Sawaal’ , a fringe film, featuring an image of Lord Krishna on a sanitary pad has created a stir on social media. 

Actress Ekavali Khanna, who plays a lawyer in the film, says on the matter: “Firstly, I’m not aware about any backlash that the poster received. But if that is the case then I can just say that the makers didn’t have any intention to hurt anyone’s sentiments.”
