There's
no
denying
that
both
Rashmika
Mandanna
and
Vicky
Kaushal
are
two
of
the
most
loved
stars
of
the
Hindi
Film
Industry,
and
apparently,
owing
to
their
popularity
among
netizens,
the
makers
of
a
brand
chose
them
to
be
cast
together
in
a
TV
commercial.
However,
netizens
feel
that
their
TVC
is
anything
but
good.
In
the
TV
commercial,
Rashmika
is
seen
drooling
over
Vicky
Kaushal's
underwear
strap
and
netizens
are
hell-bent
on
slamming
the
Geetha
Govindam
actress.
A
netizen
wrote
on
YouTube,
"Creepy
ad
concept.
Do
ppl
call
it
liberating
and
empowerment?
Actors
please
don't
do
social
moral
policing
again.
Where
are
the
pseudo
feminists?
Why
are
they
not
condemning
this?
Looks
like
they
are
ok
with
it."
Reacting
to
Rashmika-Vicky's
ad,
another
netizen
wrote
on
YouTube,
"Imagine
the
guy
staring
at
a
girl's
strap..
will
it
still
be
cool??"
"When
women
ask
for
equality,
this
is
not
they
mean.
Stop
objectifying
people.
🤦🏻♀️
Moreover
who's
going
buy
a
bloody
underwear
watching
THIS
ad?" commented
one
more
user
on
Rashmika's
ad.
"Dear
@iamRashmika
i
saw
your
ad
#machosporto
and
its
realy
disappointed
me,
i
never
expected
this
from
you
,
you
can't
do
this
bcs
you
are
a
national
crush
and
heart
of
millions,
sorry
if
i
said
any
wrong
thing..
Keep
smiling
and
be
happy,"
tweeted
another
disappointed
user.
Clearly,
Rashmika
and
Vicky
have
offended
their
fans
with
their
choices
and
we
wonder
if
they
would
apologise
to
their
fans
for
propagating
wrong
message!
After
all,
objectification
of
any
gender
is
unacceptable.
And
when
stars
like
Rashmika
and
Vicky
promote
such
things,
it's
indeed
controversial.
