Johnny Sins with Ranveer Singh in Bold Care's ad.

Ranveer Singh’s latest ad for his sexual wellness brand featured adult film star Johnny Sins. In a recent interview, Johnny opened up about his experience of working in India and said that everyone has been extremely welcoming but he expressed his regret about not getting to see India as he always wanted to. Johnny also spoke about the hugely crowded set which had 150 people as opposed to his set where he usually shoots with 3 to 5 people.

In a chat with Tanmay Bhat on his YouTube channel, Johnny spoke about his time in India and said, “It’s been a little hard because you come all the way here, to a country you have always wanted to see, really not be able to see it. The people have been amazing. Everybody has been extremely nice and what I have seen so far has been extremely cool.” Johnny’s presence in the ad was not declared beforehand so his trip to India was treated as a secret by the ad makers.

When Tanmay asked him about the experience of shooting with 150 people on set, Johnny shared, “I don’t think I have ever seen so many people on set. The largest set I have seen in the US is maybe 15 people and most of my shoots these days are me and the girl usually. Most shoots are 3 to 5 people.”

Johnny Sins’ ad with Ranveer Singh went viral on the internet. The ad, which was a parody of a regular Hindi television serial, was not appreciated by actor Rashami Desai as she shared her thoughts on social media. She wrote, “After watching this reel, which is highly unexpected, I felt it’s a humiliation to all the TV industry and people who work in television. Because we (are) always made feel smaller. Actors really wanna work on big screen too, this is how exactly we get treated. Everyone is working hard. But I’m sorry, TV show pe yeh sab nahi dikhate. This all happens on big screen. And nothing wrong in showing some reality but this is reality check for all the TV industry coz I feel it’s a slap. May be I am overreacting. But we show culture and love to our audience. And I am hurt coz I’ve had respectful journey in TV industry. Hope you all will understand the emotion.”

Bhavna Chauhan, who featured in the ad with Johnny, said that she thought she was going to shoot with John Cena and not Johnny Sins. “I don’t know why I misread the name. But to think of it, never in my dreams, I thought that Johnny would be part of an ad like this. I thought wrestlers do a lot of work in India and so I was foolishly thinking it was going to be John Cena. Only after I got the final details, I found out it was Johnny Sins,” she told India Today.
