Layer'r
Shot's
controversial
ad
had
shocked
everyone.
Netizens
slammed
the
perfume
and
body
spray
ad
that
promoted
rape
culture.
Recently,
a
LinkedIn
post
shared
by
Abbas
Mirza-
a
senior
creative
director
at
a
marketing
company
went
viral.
The
post
revealed
how
actor
Saurabh
Verma,
who
was
offered
a
part
in
the
ad,
rejected
it
as
he
found
it
'derogatory
and
demeaning
for
women'.
Netizens
were
all
praise
for
the
actor
for
declining
the
offer.
Recently,
Saurabh
opened
up
about
rejecting
the
ad
and
becoming
the
social
media
sensation.
He
said
that
he
used
his
common
sense
and
said
no
to
it.
He
also
revealed
his
parent's
reaction
to
him
becoming
a
social
media
sensation.
He
also
revealed
that
when
he
was
sent
the
script
of
the
ad,
he
was
a
little
upset
and
he
did
suggest
a
few
changes.
But
when
they
didn't
agree,
he
politely
said
no.
Talking
to
Indian
Express,
Saurab
said,
"I
just
used
my
common
sense.
I
am
right
now
too
surprised
at
how
everyone
has
been
lauding
me.
I
was
honestly
a
little
upset
when
I
read
it
(the
script).
I
knew
I
would
never
tolerate
it
if
a
woman
was
treated
like
this
in
real
life,
and
hence
I
did
not
want
to
do
it
even
on
camera.
I
did
suggest
a
few
changes
but
when
they
did
not
agree,
I
politely
said
no."
Saurabh
discussed
about
ads
when
he
bumped
into
his
old
friend
Abbas
Mirza
and
it
is
then
he
revealed
to
him
he
was
offered
the
controversial
ad.
He
said,
"Honestly,
I
didn't
think
it
was
such
a
big
thing.
Abbas
bhaiya
asked
me
if
he
could
share
the
story.
I
agreed
and
only
requested
him
to
not
defame
the
person.
I
never
expected
it
to
blow
up
this
big."
The
actor,
who
is
not
on
social
media,
wasn't
aware
of
viral
LinkedIn
post
about
him.
He
revealed
that
it
was
Abbas
who
told
him
that
Neelesh
Mishra
had
reshared
the
post,
and
websites
were
picking
it
up.
