A television commercial for a male body spray has been taken off the air in India, after critics said it made light of gang rape.

Bollywood celebrities including Priyanka Chopra, Richa Chadha and Farhan Akhtar are among those to have lambasted the commercial for Layer'r Shot, a brand of male fragrance, calling it "shameful," "disgusting" and "incredibly tasteless."

Its controversial advert shows four men appearing to stalk a frightened-looking woman in a store before cutting to one of the men saying, "We're four, there's one, who takes the shot?"

Absolutely disgusting and tasteless. India is stooping to a new low and I'm glad someone is speaking out about it.

I thought it was funny.

Tasteless, but hilarious.

do you watch any of the non-US versions of Survivor, tc?

Yeah... that's not good. Knowing India's rape culture definitely makes this not ok, but even outside that context its not a good look at all.

But we can complain about lots of stuff so when does it stop. Eg I like how their actors are always very light skinned when their population isnt like that and colorism seems to be a thing over there
