This toxic advert about masculinity starring Sanjay Dutt is creating an online furor:
It is believed that nothing on the internet ever dies, and a recent incident is proving the same. An old advert featuring Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt has surfaced on the internet. The commercial, where the ‘Munna Bhai MBBS’ actor is seen slamming men for doing “feminine” activities, has left netizens in a state of disbelief, with many calling out “toxic masculinity” in it.
In the viral video, Dutt can be seen explaining what “manliness” should be. He then takes out his frustration at those men who spend more time at beauty parlors than a gym or prefer to look after babies and do cooking.
Here is the clip:
This clip is from the advertisement he did for ‘Haywards 5000’ in 2008. Although originally it was taken down, it keeps resurfacing from time to time.
Earlier, the ad sparked outrage on social media with many criticizing his blatantly misogynistic rant. Some people also chose to defend him saying that he was just reading the script and that is his job.
