Holi is also called as the “festival of love” as on this day people get to unite together forgetting all resentments and all types of bad feeling towards each other. To celebrate Holi, Surf Excel came up with an advertisement which shows that “daag achhe hai” in a whole new concept, with a heart touching message.
In the ad, we can see a non-Muslim girl guiding her Muslim friend, who is making an attempt to reach the mosque dressed without getting smeared by Holi colours. This ad is quite impactful and shows how human relationships can go beyond the boundaries of religion. Unfortunately, the ad did not go well with some right-wing supporters. Take a look:
The right-wing supporters, who thought that Hindustan Unilever is promoting love jihad through the advertisement, demanded a complete boycott of its products. It is to be noted that Love Jihad means that Muslim men marry Hindu women in order to get them to convert. Also, #BoycottSurfExcel has been trending on Twitter for the past few days.
As soon as more people came to know about the controversy surrounding the advertisement, they came in support of Hindustan Unilever and its product Surf Excel. Thousands of people are defending the ad. Check out here:
It is worth mentioning here that the support posts related to the ad have overtaken the number of angry reacts on the same.
