Mahakal Thali: Zomato Apologises, Pulls Back Hrithik Advertisement Amid Backfire

Food conveyance app Zomato has issued an expression of remorse over their most recent promotion including Hrithik Roshan and said that they didn’t aim to harmed anyone’s sentiment.

Two Mahakal priests Mahesh and Ashish from Ujjain on Saturday requested that the online food conveyance firm Zomato ought to pull back their most recent notice highlighting Bollywood performing artist Hrithik Roshan. The call to evacuate the advertisement is being made as they charge it irritates Hindu assumptions and is ‘offensive’.

Within the unused promotion titled ‘Mann kiya, Zomato kiya’, Hrithik Roshan says he felt like having a thali (full course platter) in Ujjain so he put an arrange from “Mahakal”. “Thali ka mann kia, Ujjain mein hai, toh Mahakal se manga Lia (Felt like having a Thali. We’re in Ujjain, so requested from Mahakal,” the on-screen character said within the ad.

“The company has made deceiving reputation around the Mahakal sanctuary in its promotion. The company ought to think some time recently issuing such notices,” Sharma said.

“The video is portion of a pan-India campaign for which we distinguished best nearby eateries and their best dishes based on ubiquity in each city. Mahakal eatery was one of the eateries chosen for the campaign in Ujjain. We profoundly regard the emotions of the individuals of Ujjain and the ad in address is not running. We offer our sincerest expressions of remorse for the aim here was never to harmed anyone’s convictions and opinions,” Zomato apologized.

Further they added, “We profoundly regard the emotions of the individuals of Ujjain, and the ad in address is not running. We offer our sincerest expressions of remorse, for the expectation here was never to harmed anyone’s convictions and sentiments.”
