App for food delivery Zomato apologized for their most recent commercial with Hrithik Roshan and claimed they didn’t mean to offend anyone.

The corporation issued a statement on Twitter saying, “We extend our heartfelt apologies, for the purpose here was never to damage anyone’s beliefs and sentiments.”

The company released a statement in response to demands from priests and followers of Shree Mahakaleshwar Temple, a well-known temple in Ujjain, for the advertising featuring Hrithik ordering meals from “Mahakal” when he felt like a “thali” to be immediately pulled.

The advertisement “mentioned ‘thalis’ at ‘Mahakal Restaurant,’ not the venerated Shree Mahakaleshwar Temple,” the firm claimed in a statement.

“The video is a part of a pan-Indian campaign for which we chose the finest restaurants in each city and their most well-known dishes. One of the eateries selected for the promotion in Ujjain was Mahakal. The ad in question has been taken down out of respect for the feelings of the people of Ujjain. We sincerely apologize since our intention was never to offend anyone’s values or sentiments “The message came to an end.
