However, the brand has now apologized for their misleading billboard and also pulled down the same from across cities in India.

Speaking to Economic Times, Vineet Gautam, country head of the brand said .“As a progressive brand that is loved by youth the world over, we take our responsibility of always being respectful, as seriously as we do our bold attitude. We regret that a billboard of our current campaign has caused people distress. We did not intend to offend anyone and discontinued it immediately,”
