INDIA SUMMARIZED

आर.बी.एल.निगम  सेंसर बोर्ड और टीवी पर बोल्ड्स सीन्स पर रोक को लेकर अक्सर खबरें बनती रहती हैं। लेकिन कुछ कमर्शियल ऐड भी ऐसे रहे हैं जिन्होंने बोल्डनेस की सारी हदें पार कर दी। इनमें से कुछ ऐड पर तो ना सिर्फ रोक लगी बल्कि केस तक दर्ज किया गया है। पूजा बेदी ने इस ऐड से अपने करियर शुरू तो नहीं किया लेकिन सबसे ज्यादा सुर्खियों इसी ऐड से बटौरी। कामसूत्र कंडोम के इस ऐड से पहले भारत में कंडोम के ऐड बेहद साफ सुथरे तरीके से बनाए जाते थे। लेकिन पूजा के इस ऐड में बोल्डनेस की पुरानी सीमाएं तोड़ी तो ये ऐड खूब विवादों में रहा। जेनेलिया डिसूजा और विराट ने साल 2011 में फास्टट्रैक के लिए कुछ कमर्शियल शूट किए थे। इन कमर्शियल्स का सब्जेक्ट इतना बोल्ड इनको लेकर विवाद हो गया था। साल 1998 में एक ऐड को लेकर बिपाशा बसु और डिनो मारियो ने खूब सुर्खियां बटौरी। इस ऐड में डिनो बिपाशा के अंडरवियर मुंह से खींचते हुए दिखाए गए थे जिसकों लेकर काफी विवाद हुआ था। अमूल माचो का ये ऐड जिसमें सना खान नजर आईं थी। अपने बोल्ड सब्जेक्ट को लेकर काफी विवादित रहा। मधु स्‍प्रे और मिलिंद सोमन का ये टफ शूज का विज्ञापन आज ...
