@nitin_gadkari and @akshaykumar promoting dowry strongly I mean what a shameful behavior. https://t.co/o4islVdGu8

Propagating dowry in the name of spreading awareness about safety. Someone or a group of people thought this, pitched it, got accepted, got actors to agree to be a part of it, shot the video, got final edit, aired it. Did anyone object and were they heard? Strangely, no. https://t.co/d7T6kupaWx

@mrsfunnybones how can you keep quiet on this ur husband is outrightly promoting dowry this is completely wrong hope you will call this out please judge this video as a women not as a wife

— Rana Kapoor(Yes Bank) (@Indian199413) September 12, 2022

Endorsing dowry is illegal in India.

— Nota Voter (@NotaVoter007) September 11, 2022

So many people supporting dowry in the name of "gift to daughter" making it look like it's the father's choice and not "always a demand". Goes to show how subtle/ insidious this practice is. Shameful that an elected representative doesn't see it as a problem. https://t.co/PZQn7eFIhd
