The Internet can be a cruel place and Bollywood celebrities are often criticised for their wrongdoings. The audience spares no one and this time it was actress Kriti Sanon who was on the receiving end of an immense backlash. A number of people lost their cool and got offended over her recent photo shoot.

Kriti recently shot with a popular magazine where she strike a pose with a stuffed giraffe hanging from the ceiling. What upset the audience was the atrocity on a helpless animal for the sake of a photo. The below picture has been taken at a museum in England's Aynhoe Park. The post states that the animals have been preserved by taxidermy at the park.

The post reads, "I'm not someone who gets angry easily, but when I read about atrocities against women, it really upsets me." Meet our cover girl @kritisanon being her candid self in our August issue.

PS: Aynhoe Park features taxidermy, hundreds of years old, most from museums. Taxidermy is the art of preserving an animal that died of natural causes, for academic purposes. The giraffe featured here is floating (not hanging, heavens no!) with balloons on its back. An art installation, in what is possibly one of the eclectic yet most majestic mansions in the world.
PPS: Cosmo loves, no, is obsessed with animals. We were, possibly, the first magazine in India to ban the featuring of fur, three years ago. No animals were harmed before, during, or after this shoot. We may be guilty of watching too many puppy videos during work hours, though."

This extremely disturbing picture angered the audience and they instantly started criticising the concept. What was the need to hang an animal? Harmed or not, animals are not props, are some of the comments on the magazine's Instagram handle.

Here's what people had to say on this photo:

On Twitter too, people were in no mood to spare this photo. Some of the tweets read:

Commenting on this entire controversy, Kriti Sanon stated to The Quint, "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".

We wonder when will the makers realise their mistake and put down this outrageous picture. But, this fiasco has put Kriti in a bad light
