Ranveer Singh in legal trouble over 'sexist' ad

The actor has apologised on account of the ad

Just when we thought that the brouhaha over Ranveer Singh's appearance in a 'sexist' Jack and Jones ad had fizzled out, a Delhi-based lawyer has moved the National Commission of Women against the star.



According to The Indian Express, reports quoted lawyer Gaurav Gulati  as having said, "I have seen an advertisement hoarding of Jack & Jones company on social media and some online news reports in which famous Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh could be seen posing slinging a woman on his shoulder, suggesting that women are nothing more than objects. Then there’s a punch line by the side that says Do Not Hold Back, Take Your Work Home."

The NCW has been reportedly requested by Gaurav to issue a notice to not only the menswear brand but also the actor. Ranveer, on his part, had delivered an apology soon after the ad was rapped on the internet.



"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," Ranveer said. He further added, "I treat all women with the utmost respect both professionally and personally and would never do anything to disrespect them."
