Popular actor Ali has issued a public apology after a Ghar soap advertisement featuring him triggered controversy and drew criticism from sections of the Hindu community.
The advertisement reportedly showed Ali performing a pooja for the soap product, a portrayal that many viewers felt was inappropriate and hurtful to religious sentiments. As criticism intensified on social media, the actor responded by releasing a video message addressing the issue.
In his statement, Ali expressed regret and said that it was never his intention to offend or hurt anyone’s beliefs. He appealed to the public for understanding and sensitivity, emphasising his respect for all religions and traditions. The actor also requested the concerned company to immediately withdraw the advertisement from circulation.
The issue quickly gained traction online and became a widely discussed topic, with social media users expressing mixed reactions, ranging from criticism to support for the actor’s apology.
