Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh, who was criticised on social media for being a part of a insensitive advertisement, has apologised and said he respects women a lot.
In a Jack and Jones advertisement, Ranveer is seen lifting a woman on his shoulders with the tagline reading ‘Don’t hold back. Take your work home.’
Soon after it was put up on hoardings across different cities, well-known actors like Siddharth (Rang De Basanti fame) took to Twitter to slam the advertisement for being sexist and for showing insensitivity towards sexual harassment of women at the workplace.
A new low for women's rights in the workplace in India. What were they thinking? #Fail pic.twitter.com/3PW5mMaKOt

“It was important to give the brand the creative freedom while designing the campaign but I guess we got it wrong on one of those billboards. I am sorry this happened but it is a thing of past. We rectified it immediately by having the hoarding taken down as early as possible from over 30 cities overnight” Ranveer said in a statement.
“I treat all women with utmost respect both professionally and personally and would never do anything to disrespect them” he added.

Lol, respect? My foot.
Siddharth who? Suddenly we see a crusader for woman’s cause…..no one knows you dude…go back to your hole….and thank Aamir for getting a space in his wonderful film…..aaya bada gyaan dene wala.
The creative director should be blamed for such a nonsensical ad, not Ranveer because he’s born sans brain…
I support ranvir
