If you’re a regular user of social media, by now you may have seen the new hilarious ad featuring Rahul Dravid. In case you haven’t, allow us to explain. The ad features the former India skipper in a completely different light, contrary to the cool and calm demeanour that he is known for. The advertisement prompted many to share rib-tickling comments, including Zomato. However, the food delivery company’s tweet accidentally ended up creating confusion among people – so much so that the company had to share a tweet to clear the air.
Zomato's clarification post on their Rahul Dravid’s ‘gunda’ ad related tweet prompted people to share all sorts of comments. (Twitter/@Zomato)
