The Chandigarh JW Marriott had to cough up a penalty of Rs 25,000 for illegally charging GST on fresh fruits and vegetables when they billed actor Rahul Bose Rs 422 for two bananas. But while the hotel would have liked to put the incident behind them as quickly as possible, other brands have been using the controversy to highlight how their services are cheaper than the two bananas served to Bose. Pizza Hut, Amazon, hospitality firm Oyo are just some of the brands that have come up with quirky ad campaigns on their various social media handles after the incident involving Bose went viral.
