"I'm sorry this happened but it's a thing of the past. We rectified it immediately," said Ranveer Singh
Ranveer Singh's new ad has been branded sexist by social media. Actor Sidharth tweeted that it was a new low for women's rights in the workplace in India
Ranveer said, "I always wanted to do a role of a mother. And thanks to Rohit, I finally got to play this part." In between Rohit quipped, "Its good Ranveer did not say that I made him a mother"
Never mind about the noodles because they function simply to give Ranveer Singh's character - a cross between Max Rockatansky and Tonto from Lone Ranger - the ammunition he needs to deliver the world from hunger, defeat a desi Immortan Joe and rescue a beauteous Splendid Angharad in the shapely form of actress Tamannaah Bhatia.
A clothing line ad, which stars Ranveer Singh and shows the actor dressed in office wear with a woman over his shoulder, has been criticised as sexist and offensive. South actor Siddharth also tweeted criticising the ad.
Leading actors of Bollywood take their brand endorsements rather seriously. While Aamir Khan posed as a woman and Abhishek Bachchan devised new ideas for a mobile network, actor Ranveer Singh has managed to lead the ad world with his choice and execution of ads. Ranveer recently rapped for a Chinese food label commercial.
