#BoycottTanishq Trended On Twitter As Tanishq’s New Ad Preaches To Say NO To Firecrackers


Tanishq, the jewelry brand has once again created a controversy because of its latest advertisement in which four Bollywood actresses (Neena Gupta, Alaya F, Sayani Gupta and Nimrat Kaur) are seen telling how they will like to celebrate Diwali, this year.

One of the actresses says that she won’t be bursting firecrackers and also said everybody else should also refrain from bursting firecrackers. This advice from her didn’t went well with the netizens and a huge uproar was caused against this ad on the social media networks. People didn’t liked that only Hindus are preached about how to celebrate their festivals but nobody has any problem with animals getting killed on Eid and Christmas trees getting chopped on Christmas.

After getting heavily slammed, Tanishq decided to pull the ad down but enough damage was done to its brand and once again #BoycottTanishq started trending on the micro-blogging site, Twitter.

However, you can still watch the video by clicking here.

This is not the first time when Tanishq has faced the wrath of the netizens. Some time back it released an ad in which a pregnant Hindu girl was shown married to a Muslim man. The jewelry brand was thrashed left and right by the online users for promoting love jihad and the protest gained momentum due to some real incidents in which Hindus lost their lives.

That ad was also pulled down by the division of Tata Group and they were criticized pretty badly at that time as well.

What do you think, Tanishq is offending Hindus intentionally, do share your opinion.
