Should Tanishq have gone Surf Excel way on ad? Brand gurus on fallout of row

The controversy surrounding an advertisement by jewellery firm Tanishq refuses to die down even after the company withdrew it.

The ad, which showed an interfaith marriage, was accused of promoting 'love jihad' by many on social media.

Brand gurus Dilip Cherian and Santosh Desai decode the entire incident and comment on how companies can or should respond to such situations.
