Shimul Sharma apologises amid backlash over Coca-Cola advertisement

In response to the backlash, actor Shimul Sharma, who starred in the advertisement, took to social media to issue a heartfelt apology. Sharma expressed, "I, Shimul Sharma, have not yet become an actor worthy of recognition because I still lack the dedication and foresight necessary to be a true actor. I am only trying. This is why my work, done without understanding, has hurt my audience, my family, and the people of my country. In the future, I will ensure that any work I undertake respects our country's values, human rights, and people's sentiments.”
