Sep 19th, 2017: Once again, Sunny Leone stirs up a controversy. Sunny has attracted the ire of traditionalists in Gujarat by appearing in a new condom ad themed on Navratri festival.
The ad, which was displayed on hoardings, was posted on social media by people.
The ad comes with a caption ‘Play but with love, this Navratri.’ Sources reveal that a Surat-based group called Hindu Yuva Vahini has protested at the shooting spot where the ad was shot.
According to religious groups, the ad hurts religious sentiments and sends out the ‘wrong’ message.
“The message in Gujarati on the hoarding reads ‘Aa Navratri a ramo, parantu premthi’ – Play but with love, this Navratri. The insinuation on the hoardings from a condom brand insults the religious sentiments of Hindus,” Narendra Chaudhary, businessman and president of Hindu Yuva Vahini, told TOI. “This cannot be tolerated and our protests will get stronger if these hoardings are not removed immediately. Protests are necessary to deter others from trying something similar again in future.”
Interestingly, a survey carried out by a sexual wellness products website, has found that the sale of condoms actually spiked during the festive period in Gujarat!
