As it happens with almost everything, social media marketing has some negatives for brands. Every now and then we see celebrities getting involved in controversies for brand promotion and Priya Varrier is the latest name in this list.
What happened is Priya shared a picture promoting a perfume brand, and the picture which should have grabbed the eyeballs of the netizens received all the attention due to the caption and she became the victim of trolling on social media.
She mistakenly copy-pasted all the instructions she must have received in the mail given by the brand. Well, some believe this as a Marketing stunt but if it isn’t that, then this is advertiser’s nightmare as netizen had a new topic to laugh at.
Although she later corrected the post, the screenshots had already gone viral.
