Mumbai: Shah Rukh Khan’s latest commercial advertisement didn’t seem to go down well with Raj Kundra. Some toy Story-like characters, one which slightly resembles SRK, prance around a giant mango. The lyrics go ‘Aam Suck it’a, lick it’a’, when it rises up in the air, bursts and fills up a plastic bottle with Frooti.
However, Raj Kundra was really offended and called the advertisement disgusting because of its lyrics. He vented out his anger on Twitter through a series of posts.
This Frooti ad is disgusting! Kids copying and singing suck it lick it a. @iamsrk bhai how did u approve this script? Tasteless literally!

He tried to take the situation under control by posting that it's just his personal opinion.Stop overreacting I love @iamsrk it's my personal opinion the ad is not made in good taste & bad for kids.Frooti thank media free publicity!
