In the advertisement, four boys are seen doing objectionable things. A boy and a girl are shown sitting on a bed when four more boys enter the room. A boy asks, ‘Shot mara lagta hai’, the boy sitting on the bed says yes mara na’ then the first boy says ‘now our turn’ and moves towards the girl. The girl looks shocked and uncomfortable seeing this conversation. Next, the boy picks up a bottle of a body spray named ‘Shot’ and the girl feels relieved as if she has just survived a gang rape.
