Sunny Leone's Play with love this Navratri ad. PHOTO: @DeepakNair1991/TWITTER

AHMEDABAD, INDIA: Indian authorities tore down dozens of billboards Tuesday after a slew of complaints over an advertisement depicting a former **** star promoting condoms ahead of a major Hindu festival.

The image of Sunny Leone, a Canadian actress of Indian origin, advertising contraceptives ahead of the religious celebration of Navratri proved too much for some in the western state of Gujarat.

The advertisement features no image of a condom, but stoked outrage in conservative India for its slogan “Play with love this Navratri”.

In a written complaint, the Confederation of All India Traders accused the condom manufacturer behind the risque ad of taking marketing “to an all-time low”.

“This is an immature attempt to boost sales by putting all our cultural value at stake”, the traders group said in a statement.

Hundreds flood Kochi streets to catch a glimpse of Sunny Leone

The group took particular umbrage at the link between sex and Navratri, a nine-day Hindu festival of fasting and prayer.

Local authorities in Gujarat, the home state of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, removed the advertisements as controversy mounted.

Leone is brand ambassador for Manforce, India’s largest condom manufacturer, and one of its most searched celebrities online.

What's the connection here? indian companies and ad agencies come up with some brilliant stuff, this ad can't be some stupid crazy idea ....... and the letter from trades association also wants to take action against the brand ambassador. Connection kya hy bai is tehwar may aur iss ad may?

if getting triggered over a condom Ad isnt extremism then I wonder what is

Imagine a bill board in Islamabad / Karachi/ Lahore,

With picture of Mia Khalifa showing cleavage and following message
"Ramdan mubarak ho Apko aur aap ki mohabbat ko Durex ki taraf se,
Yaad rakhna humko un haseen palon me"

How your ppl will react to it ??

Lecture on extremism dosent suit people who get offended merely by a cartoon

Hahaha. I enjoy your sense of humor.
Keep up your stretching, morning walks and khajoor+milk so we can enjoy your presence here for a couple more years.
The person in his DP is a legend (late) mountaineer..

You must ask your father to have "The" talk with you. :agree:

Its a bad idea to have "the" talk with strangers on the internet.
In Pakistan.. father and sons dont have the "talk".

Why is this on the defence forum? Clearly, the admins are no longer monitoring the site. :undecided:
