“We tried to avoid the stereotypes associated with gay people. There was no one woman looking more masculine or feminine in the film. We tried to give it a candid feel like it is any other couple being apprehensive about meeting the parents,” says Avishek Ghosh, co-partner of Hectic Content, the production house that made the film conceptualized by ad agency Ogilvy & Mather, Bangalore.

“The ad has got 3 million views across social media like Facebook, YouTube etc,” says Manish Aggarwal, VP (marketing) at Myntra Fashion which is promoting the ad. The video has grossed over 7 Lakh views on Youtube.
