New Delhi: Amita Sachdeva, a Delhi High Court advocate, has filed a complaint against Domino’s Pizza for its recent ad campaign that plays on the popular Ganesh Chaturthi chant, “Ganapati Bappa Morya!” The ad, which features Lord Ganesha with a pizza for a head, uses a pun on the phrase, saying, “Pizza so good, even Bappa says More-Ya.”
Sachdeva, in her complaint, has raised concerns about the ad’s insensitivity towards the Hindu community. She argues that the use of Lord Ganesha in a commercial context, especially with a pun on a sacred chant, is disrespectful and could potentially offend religious sentiments.

Following the complaint, netizens have expressed their outrage on social media, calling for a boycott of Domino’s Pizza. Many have criticized the company for its perceived lack of sensitivity and have demanded an apology.
Domino’s Pizza has not yet issued a public statement in response to the complaint. It remains to be seen how the company will address the growing backlash and whether any action will be taken against the ad campaign.
