Whenever festivals are coming, surely there will be a lot of TV commercials and digital ads surrounding the same.

But these days, a slightest mistake in terms of portraying the culture badly or making fun of the culture happens, surely the internet is reacting very strongly. On that note, as Diwali is coming, many are wondering what kinds of ads will come, and how the reception will be.
We have seen how the Raksha Bandhan ad of Kriti Sanon sparked a big debate, until the brand issued an apology for hurting the sentiments of Hindus. Now that Diwali is coming, many Diwali-centric ads are coming, and some have already started pointing out a chocolate brand ad of Sara Ali Khan, saying that she’s put up an unwanted deep-neck outfit in the ad that’s giving an unwanted glamorous touch.
However, the brand ad actually made sure that the glam factor wouldn’t last long, and they wouldn’t make mockery of the rituals, and many actually liked her ethnic looks and the outfit. Many ads are likely to come out now, and it has become a sport for people on the Indian internet to make mockery of these heroines.
On the other hand, if the culture is made fun of, like tying a Rakhi to a dog in another ad, that should be strongly condemned for sure.
