Most Controversial Advertisements On TV

These television advertisements were too hot to handle and got people talking. Here is a round up of some of the raciest ads on the Indian television that created controversies and stirred the nation. Because, sex sells.

Ranveer Singh’s condom advertisement

It was when Bollywood’s bold and brawn hunk Ranveer Singh endorsed this leading condom brand. Though appreciated by many, Ranveer’s stint drew a lot of flak at the same time.

India’s First Lesbian Ad 'The Visit'

The country's first advertisement showing a lesbian couple preparing to meet parents made waves on the social media. The video shows two women in a live-in relationship, flirting and dressing up for the day, chatting about the expectations they face and their love for each other.

Sunny Leone's Manforce condom advertisement

Bollywood actor and reality TV star Sunny Leone took the ad world by storm with her latest steamy advertisement. The pretty actress is endorsing Manforce condoms and the ad shows her posing seductively and showing off her cleavage. In the advertisement, she holds her outfit with one hand and reaches for black grapes with the other. The shoot of the ad took place in Thailand.

Soon after the launch of advertisement, CPI leader Atul Anjan and Ex-DCW chief Barkha Singh called for a ban on it, calling it "shabby, ugly or immoral" and alleging that "such ads increase rapes in the country". Though hours after making the statement, Anjan issued an apology of sorts for his comments. It was high time Sunny shut these politicians down when she wrote this on Twitter: "Sad when people of power waste their time and energy on me, instead of focusing on helping those in need !!!!! #SHAME #EPICFAIL"

Amul Macho – Yeh toh bada toingggg hai

The advertisement besides being a sort of launch pad for model Sana Khan, emerged as an instant controversy booster. The ad features sultry Sana Khan washing the underwear, fantasising as if her husband is still wearing it and brandishing it to the other ladies at the dhobi ghaat. The ad did land up into controversy when it faced a potential ban for showing women in a different light. But, the ban was never imposed.
