Ranveer Singh Apologises For His Sexist Ad Campaign, Says Will Never Disrespect Women
Amidst his adorable pictures with Deepika at the Ambani bash, Ranveer was also caught in a controversy related to his latest ad which came across as an extremely sexist one. Ranveer Singh now seeks an apology for the same
It’s rare that Ranveer Singh is caught in any sort of controversy but this time round the Befikre star rubbed his fans the wrong way.
Ranveer Singh’s latest ad for a clothing label went all wrong when the hoardings came up in the cities. In the ad, Ranveer was seen in a corporate setting, wearing formals, carrying a girl on his shoulders with a caption, ‘Don't hold back. Take your work home.’

The caption and the context outraged many. The ad not only received a lot of backlash from people but also had a negative impact on Ranveer Singh’s image. Citing the same and the gravity of the situation, as reported by a news daily, Ranveer Singh has finally apologised to everyone by issuing a statement.
He said, “It was important to give the brand creative freedom while designing their campaign, but I guess we got it wrong on one of those billboards and I’m sorry this happened but it’s a thing of the past..we rectified it immediately by having that hoarding taken down ASAP from everywhere over 30 cities overnight. I treat all women with the utmost respect both professionally and personally and would never do anything to disrespect them."
Since the time this ad was made public, Ranveer started getting trolled on social media and news portals. He received numerous comments and posts from various sections of the society, including film stars like Siddharth (of ‘Rang De Basanti’ fame), criticising Singh for allegedly encouraging something as sexist as this ad.
But now that Ranveer has apologised, maybe the controversy will settle down.
