Banned commercials that featured Bollywood beauties

Before they made it big in Bollywood, some Bollywood actresses had been a part of ad commercials. However, some sultry commercials that these Bollywood beauties were a part of, were banned. Let's take a look at the hot commercials, featuring Bollywood actresses, that were banned...

Bipasha's sensuous debut

Known for her sensuous curves and dusky charm, Bipasha Basu has always been a stunner. Even before she took Bollywood by storm with her no-inhibitions attitude, the actress had shed it all for an ad commercial. In an endorsement for New York Lotto, Bipasha Basu had shed all her clothes. She had featured in the advertisement with Vivek Oberoi. While the ad was meant for the international audience, it was reportedly banned in India due to its bold content.

Real to reel chemistry

With the tagline, 'Real pleasure can't come in an instant' the ad was expected to be sensuous. The commercial for the coffee brand, Mr Coffee, made headlines for real-life couple, Arbaaz and Malaika's steamy chemistry. The ad had an undercurrent of sexual fantasy and was not well received in India. As a result, it had to be pulled down.
