"Poor Stokesmanship?" - Amul Shares Topical For Ben Stokes' 'Handshake Controversy'
A controversy erupted during the recent fourth Test between England and India at Old Trafford. England captain Ben Stokes offered a handshake to draw late on Day 5, since no result was likely. India chose to continue batting so that Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar could complete their centuries (before accepting the draw). The Indian team's decision frustrated the England side. The players displayed visible signs of annoyance on the field. The incident has made headlines and sparked a heated debate. Critics accused England of poor sportsmanship, while some former players defended Stokes's response. Indian players and pundits defended the team's decision to play on. They argued that personal milestones (like hitting a century) are valid reasons to continue. Dubbed the "handshake controversy," this news has led to many discussions and posts on social media. Recently, popular dairy brand Amul released a topical about the same. The illustration depicts Ben Stokes and Ravindra Jadeja. Stokes' right hand is shown to be outstretched in a handshake gesture. Amul cannot resist adding a pun or other form of wordplay to its topicals. This one has a witty twist on the essence of sportsmanship. The text on top reads, "Poor Stokesmanship?"

Hum tum ek camera mein bandh ho: Amul churns up 'scoop' on Astronomer's ex-CEO & Kristin Cabot's Coldplay kiss cam scandal
Dairy giant Amul has once again captured public attention with a topical ad that humorously references a now-viral moment from a recent Coldplay concert in Boston. The ad comments on the incident involving Andy Byron, former CEO of the AI firm Astronomer, and the company's Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot, who were caught by the arena's 'kiss cam' in an awkward embrace - allegedly an affair. In the cartoon shared on Amul's social media accounts, the brand's iconic Amul Girl watches the startled couple on a giant screen. The tagline reads, 'Hum Tum Ek Camera Mein Bandh Ho!' —a pun on the classic Bollywood song 'Hum Tum Ek Kamre Mein Band Ho' , cleverly swapping 'kamra' (room) with 'camera.' As always, Amul rounds it off with a witty signoff: 'Only scoops, no oops!' The now-infamous video from the Coldplay concert shows Byron and Cabot embracing, only to quickly pull apart and obscure their faces once they realise they are being broadcast live. The awkward moment prompted Coldplay's lead singer Chris Martin to quip, 'Either they're having an affair, or they're just very shy,' further fuelling public speculation. Though both executives are married, the video has led to widespread assumptions of a workplace affair. The clip rapidly spread across platforms, triggering debates about professional conduct, personal privacy, and the power of viral media in influencing reputations. The fallout was swift. Within days of the video going viral, Astronomer announced that both Byron and Cabot had been placed on leave, pending a formal investigation. Less than 24 hours later, Byron resigned from his role as CEO. In an official statement, the company confirmed: 'Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted. The Board will begin a search for our next Chief Executive as Cofounder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy continues to serve as interim CEO.' The company indicated that further details would be shared 'as appropriate,' while social media continues to dissect the incident.

"Ek Camera Mein Bandh" - Amul Shares Topical For Coldplay Kiss Cam Scandal
At a recent Coldplay concert in Boston, a "kiss cam" moment went viral when the camera focused on tech executive Andy Byron and his colleague, Kristin Cabot (who is Chief People Officer at his company, Astronomer).

It sparked widespread discussions, raising questions around workplace conduct, privacy, and the impact of viral moments on professional reputations. Many people, brands and companies have commented on this viral moment in different ways. Social media has been full of memes, posts, videos, op-eds and more about this topic. Recently, popular dairy brand Amul also jumped on the bandwagon of sharing takes on this trending scandal. It released a special topical for the same. The illustration depicts the couple with an expression of surprise as they are caught together on camera. The Amul girl is depicted standing to the side and looking at the couple. The text on top reads, "Hum tum ek camera mein bandh ho." This is a witty reference to a popular Hindi Song, "Hum Tum Ek Kamre Mein Band Ho" is an Indian Hindi song from the 1973 film Bobby. Here, the pun is on the word "kamre" (meaning room in Hindi), which Amul has changed to "camera" to signify what 'trapped' the couple. The title of the song translates to, "Suppose you and I are locked in a room." As usual, Amul uses wordplay to give a controversy a humorous twist. At the bottom of the topical are the words, "Amul. Only scoops, no oops!" The caption reads, "#Amul Topical: Couple caught on 'kiss cam' at Coldplay concert!"
