He said the clothes worn by the models had all been made by top designers, but none had been credited publicly because the shoot was not for commercial gain.

He says he was 'throwing light' on the issue of rape in India. Not sure why he thought glamorizing it would be helpful. Hopefully he learns from this.

I wonder if the people behind these *actual* ads learned anything.
