Ranveer Singh apologises for the sexist ad

Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh faced criticism after he did an allegedly sexist advertisement. The actor featured on a print ad on a hoarding and was seen carrying a woman on his shoulder, hinting at ‘taking work home’. After ‘Rang De Basanti' actor Siddharth tweeted it and called it misogynic, Twitteratis started lashing out at Ranveer.

Ranveer realised his mistake and issued a public apology. According to Bollywoodlife.com, the statement that was issued by Singh reads, “It was important to give the brand creative freedom while designing their campaign, but I guess we got it wrong on one of those billboards and I’m sorry this happened but it’s a thing of the past...We rectified it immediately by having that hoarding taken down ASAP from everywhere over 30 cities overnight. I treat all women with the utmost respect both professionally and personally and would never do anything to disrespect them.” We must say Ranveer is a real star as the actor did not only apologise but also promised that he would refrain doing such things in future.
