The duo recently featured in ad underwear ad for the brand Macho. While the ad was supposed to be a light-hearted clip, netizens have objected to the content of the controversial ad.


In the ad, we're shown Vicky Kaushal attending a yoga class taken by Rashmika Mandanna who is the instructor.


In the asana required, the yoga students need to raise their hands to the top. As Vicky Kaushal does this, his shirt lifts up slightly and this leads to Rashmika getting a peek of his Macho underwear strap.
