The post criticized Kim for using the sacred idol as a prop, with comments like, “Not Kim using Ganesha as a prop for her trashy photo ops. Ambani wedding – the conclusion: PhEras. This woman needs to get a clue and FAST. Nita Aunty, educate your guests.”
Reactions to the photo were mixed, with some users expressing approval of Kim’s decision to remove the image, while others criticized her lack of respect for Indian culture. One user commented, “She removed it, good for her,” while another noted, “Did she remove it from her post? I swiped through and it isn’t there anymore, but I’m not surprised she did something like this lol.”
Several Redditors voiced their opinions, with one remarking, “That isn’t helping her gain any favors from the Indian audience that she is after. What a dumb$$$.” Another commented, “Guess what she doesn’t even care about the Indian audience lol, she got money attending the wedding, and that’s it.” A different user added, “Lol she doesn’t care, why would she? She’s there due to a contract, she’s got no desire to respect Indian culture or learn about it.”
