Pooja Bedi and netizens on Twitter are horrified by an ad featuring Dil Bechara star, Sanjana Sanghi. Why? The ad is facing major backlash on social media and is being accused of promoting domestic violence against men.

The ad starts out with Sanjana Sanghi and another actor wondering what they should watch on the streaming app. They cannot make up their minds and this is when the actress begins to repeatedly slap the man and continues to do so till he tells her to stop following the eighth slap.
