'Don't we all promote brotherhood?': Divya Dutta asks netizen who slammed Tanishq ad

Actor Divya Dutta recently responded to a netizen who slammed the controversial Tanishq advertisement on interfaith marriage. The netizen called the Tanishq ad wrong, and wrote, "But wrong is wrong." (sic) Divya Dutta, who promptly responded, said that Indian culture promotes brotherhood and not hate. Divya Dutta further added that she believes in the concept of unity in diversity, which she was taught at a very young age. The Tanishq ad has infuriated a section of the society who believe the ad instigates and promotes interfaith marriages. 

But sir don’t we all promote brotherhood?? We as India are all about that. That’s our soul sir. Unity in diversity bachpan mein sunte the. Aise to kitne ads hote the. Koi kuch nai kehta tha.. par chalein sabke apne vichar! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
