NEW DELHI: A condom commercial featuring actress Sunny Leone will lead to more rapes, senior Left leader Atul Kumar Anjaan has warned in a video that appears to have been shot at a rally in Ghazipur, Uttar Pradesh on Tuesday. The video was uploaded onto YouTube by a channel called Khabar India.
In his rather bizarre comments, the national secretary of the Communist Party of India or CPI accused the advertisement of "developing sexuality and ruining sensibilities." If people are allowed to watch this commercial, there will be a rise in rapes, he warned.
A still from the advertisement featuring Sunny Leone
Sunny Leone, 34, starred in adult films before appearing on reality show Big Boss and making her Bollywood debut with the movie Jism 2 in 2012. Last year, she appeared in an advertisement for a brand of condoms called Manforce in December 2014. Her pre-Bollywood roles was also roundly slammed by Atul Kumar Anjaan in his speech.
The actress has also, separately, been accused in May this year of obscenity by a Mumbai woman who filed a First Information Report or FIR complaining that Ms Leone has posted pictures online that amount to circulating pornographic material.
