There is a famous saying, ‘no publicity is bad publicity’ but it made us wonder if people really mean it. If they did, where do they draw the line? What’s the limit?
Guess what, the recent incident involving famous cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle has proven that there is no such thing as bad publicity. There’s no limit to how far people can go to promote themselves.
Harsha Bhogle is one of the most respected commentators in the world but what he did during a live Instagram session has left a bad taste in his fans’ mouths.
For the unversed, the renowned commentator mysteriously disappeared during a live interaction which sent his millions of admirers into a state of panic. All this for cheap publicity.
The renowned broadcaster was in the middle of a conversation when he made brilliant use of his acting skills and gave the impression as if he had been attacked by some people.
“Kya hua? Kaun hai? Kaha se aa gaye? (What happened? Who are you? Where did you come from?” he was heard saying, before disappearing behind the blurred screen.
Taking the video on the face value, people thought Bhogle was in some sort of trouble and soon the social media was flooded with posts inquiring about his well-being.
People calmed down a bit only after Bhogle himself revealed the truth behind this whole charade on the micro-blogging site and tendered an apology. He said that it was a light-hearted video and he didn’t anticipate this video would go so viral.
