Amitabh Bachchan and his daughter, Shweta Nanda’s jewellery ad has hit a controversy and has been taken down by the owners Kalyan Jewellers.

Yes, actually it all happened after a banking community raised objection for the negative portrayal of bank employees in the ad. A bank union termed it as "disgusting" and said it was aimed at creating distrust in the banking system.

After the uproar, Kalyan Jewellers had to withdraw the advertisement and in a statement, the Executive Director of Kalyan Jewellers, Ramesh Kalyanaraman said, "We sincerely regret the inadvertent hurt caused and withdraw the advertisement from all media with immediate effect. We understand that the advertisement has hurt sentiments of some people including members of our esteemed banking community. Any such hurtful interpretation being drawn is unintended. We state that the creative advertisement was a work of fiction and not a reflection of banking employees at large. Along with crores of Indians, we acknowledge the valuable contribution of the banking community to our country."

Last week, All India Bank Officers' Confederation, an organisation claiming to have membership of around 3,20,000 officers, threatened to sue Kalyan Jewellers accusing it of "casting aspersion and hurting the sentiments of millions of personnel" through the advertisement.

AIBOC general secretary Soumya Datta said that the theme, tone and tenor of the ad were “disgusting, derogatory, to say the least and is aimed to create distrust in the banking system, for pure commercial gain.”

Never miss a chance to be amazed by the glitz and the glamour of the Entertainment industry.
