After a huge social media outrage by Sushant Singh Rajput's fans Bingo has issued a clarification on the ongoing controversy. Bingo had to face the anger of social media after it was alleged that the new advertisement of Bingo Mad Angles by Ranveer Singh mocks the late Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput. Ranveer can be seen replying with a series of scientific terms to his relatives who keep asking what are his plans for the future.
After this, people on social media started to trend #BoycottBingo on Twitter. Now, Bingo has issued a clarification and rubbished the claims that its advertisement mocked the late Bollywood actor.
Bingo which is an ITC product issued its official statement. The spokesperson of ITC said, "A completely false, erroneous and mischievous message is being posted/circulated alleging that an advertisement of Bingo! is making fun of a late Bollywood celebrity. Such kind of erroneous messages are knowingly spreading falsehoods. We request you to not fall prey to such mischievous posts."
"The recent Bingo! Advertisement was shot more than a year ago in October 2019. It is being aired this year because of delay in the launch of Bingo! Mad Angles Cheese Nachos and Bingo! Mad Angles Pizza due to the Covid-19 pandemic," added ITC.
