Once again, Annu Kapoor has become the internet’s favourite topic of conversation. His latest commercial for sexual wellness brand Durex has left netizens in splits. In the viral advertisement, the veteran actor starts with a monologue on what seemingly appears to be a friendship.
However, it takes a different turn when it eventually gets revealed that he’s promoting safe sex, catching everyone off-guard. Social media users were left surprised as they thought that it would be an ad for Rajshree Pan Masala, another commercial that went viral a few years ago. Needless to say, the Durex ad has sparked hilarious memes and reactions from many.
In an exclusive chat with News18 Showsha, pop culture icon Kapoor says that he ‘appreciates’ the brand for getting him onboard as they needed to convey an important message laden with ‘seriousness’. And he’s rather happy with how the young audiences are responding to the ad that has been capturing attention for its twist in the end. He tells us, “I’ve heard about how the internet has been reacting.
Incidentally, I don’t watch news channels or read newspapers. So, I came to know of them through my office people. Audiences have taken it in a positive manner with a pinch of wit and humour.
But they aren’t mocking it. This is exactly what the product wanted to achieve and they’ve achieved it.” Talking about how he still manages to strike a chord with the youth of today, the Hamare Baraah and Dream Girl actor points out,.
