A lawyer filed a complaint against Nawaz
According to Livemint’s report, Dibyan Banerjee, a Calcutta High Court lawyer, has filed a complaint against the actor. According to the report, the lawyer has said in his complaint, “The main advertisement by Coca-Cola for its product Sprite was in Hindi and we have no problem with it. The only problem we have is with the Bengali dubbing of the advertisement which is running on various TV channels and websites.
Anti-Bengali racist @CocaCola_Ind Deliberately does racist ad against Bengali race. They even use Hindi-Urdu actors. @nawazuddin_S To do this, not a Bengali but in Kannada ad, there is Kannadiga actor. Bengalis & all non-Hindi peoples unite against racism. #BoycottAntiBengaliSprite pic.twitter.com/zMqXNqLLK3

Charged with hurting the sentiments of a community
The complaint further states, “Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui is laughing at a joke that says, ‘Shoja angule ghee na uthle, Bengali khali pete ghoomiye pore.’ In English, it means that Bengalis go to bed hungry if they don’t get something easily, and we feel that it hurts the sentiments of the Bengali community.”
Company issued an apology
Let us tell you that in this 20-second television ad, Nawazuddin was shown standing at the railway station laughing at a joke made on a Sprite bottle. However, the report states that the joke was literally, “If they can’t extract ghee with a straight finger, Bengalis go to bed hungry.” According to the report, the company has removed the Bengali version of the advertisement and issued an apology. Has said that he ‘regrets the recent advertisement campaign of cold drink and the company respects the Bengali language’
