Raj Kundra slams Shah Rukh Khan on Twitter over drink ad

Raj's objection is with the background song that accompanies the visuals

King Khan's ad for mango juice Frooti came under fire when Raj Kundra, Shilpa Shetty's husband, tweeted that the jingle for the ad was inappropriate for children.


The new ad-film for the juice is a mix of animation and real life; it starts with a toy-sized SRK helping other toy figurines move a large mango into an empty Frooti bottle.PHOTO: DEXINGER

Raj objects to the background song that accompanies the visuals, he feels the lyrics are highly inappropriate for children. Although Shah Rukh's appearance is reserved for the end of the ad-film, Raj does point fingers at the Bollywood actor and questions his judgement for being part of the ad.

This Frooti ad is disgusting! Kids copying and singing suck it lick it a. @iamsrk bhai how did u approve this script? Tasteless literally!

However, after SRK fans reacted harshly to his tweet, Raj neutralised the situation by tweeting his love for the Bollywood megastar. Shah Rukh has yet to reply to Raj's comment

Stop overreacting I love @iamsrk it's my personal opinion the ad is not made in good taste & bad for kids.Frooti thank media free publicity!
