Bipasha, condom ad, trolling & an appeal
- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,October 24 2017]
Screen scorcher Bipasha Basu and her husband, Karan Singh Grover, did no sin. Yet they have been trolled on social media because they advertised for a pretty useful product: Condoms. From someone saying that they are endorsing such products because they are unemployed to others turning into moral police, the real-life couple has had to see it all.
In the wake of such Twitter and Instagram attacks, Bips made an appeal in a dignified manner.
"In a country that has the second largest population in the world, we still have taboos on just the words sex and condoms, but not the actual act. Let's talk more and read more and learn more about all the things that can be avoided just by the use of a simple precaution. With condoms you can have planned pregnancies and protected sex, which can curb HIV and STD cases. As a couple we believe in this that's why we have thoughtfully endorsed it," she wrote a couple of days back.
Aged 38, Bips is not doing films actively, of late. She was seen opposite Mahesh Babu in the 2002 film 'Takkari Donga'.
