Akshay Kumar’s road safety ad under fire for allegedly promoting dowry

Akshay Kumar’s new road safety ad is at the centre of a growing storm for allegedly promoting dowry. The minute-long clip is set during a 'bidaai' ceremony. The teary bride sits in the car and her father, also crying, sees her off. That's when a cop, played by Akshay Kumar, intervenes to tell the emotional father of the bride to send her and the groom in a car equipped with six airbags instead of their current vehicle equipped with just two.
