A perfume advertisement has sparked huge controversy, leaving netizens as well as Bollywood celebrities including Hrithik Roshan, Priyanka Chopra, Farhan Akhtar, Swara Bhaskar and Richa Chadha fumed. Perfume brand Layer’s recent ad for men’s body spray called ‘shot’ is facing criticism for promoting “gang rape culture”. Angry social media users and celebrities said the advertisement sought to promote sexual violence against women. Expressing his shock via his Instagram Stories on Sunday, Hrithik asked: “How could the entire team associated with this project think this was OK to make and showcase?” “Kudos to the viewers for calling it out & the regulatory bodies for taking appropriate action,” the actor further said in his post.

Also, Fukrey star Richa Chadha claimed it was not an accident. “This ad is not an accident. To make an ad, a brand goes through several layers of decision making. Creatives, script, agency, client, casting… does every everyone think rape is a joke? Revelatory,” she tweeted.
Furthermore, replying to Richa’s post and calling the advertisement ‘appalling’, global icon Priyanka Chopra wrote: “Shameful and disgusting. How many levels of clearances did it take for this commercial to be green lit. How many people thought this was ok? I’m so glad that it was called out and now the ministry has taken it down. Appalling!”
