Advertising campaign getting involved in controversies has become common these days. Himalaya has recently signed Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant as official brand ambassadors for ‘Himalaya Men Face Care Range’.
In the video commercial, both cricket stars are seen rapping about pimples and acne. While some had a good laugh out of it, others just could not believe their eyes.
Check out the ad below:
Virat even took to Twitter to share the new ad with his fans. The ad was seen by his millions of followers but it seems that they did not like it.

Considering Warner and Smith’s bans for bring the game into disrepute, Kohli could be facing years. https://t.co/9IKopk2L2d

Himalaya is a trusted brand and one of my favourite brands too! I have been a patron of Himalaya products for a long time now. I look forward to a long association with Himalaya MEN!,”
