Manasi Parekh and Tiku Talsania Face Backlash for Bike Stunt Promotion
While the Gujarati film Misri is charming audiences, its stars Manasi Parekh and Tiku Talsania have found themselves in hot water during promotional activities.
National award-winning actress Manasi Parekh’s latest Gujarati film Misri premiered in theatres on October 31. Alongside Tiku Talsania and other stars, the romantic comedy is generating buzz. However, the promotional activities led to unexpected legal issues for its cast.
In an attempt to garner attention for their film, the duo engaged in risky bike stunts on busy roads in Ahmedabad. Tiku stood while driving, and Manasi struck a pose reminiscent of a famous movie scene, all while ignoring safety protocols. Their actions drew criticism and were labeled as reckless by social media users.
One observer commented on a viral video, “Kya bewakoofi h ye actors ki,” while another quipped that the promotion was “more dangerous than the actual stunt scene.” The backlash prompted the team to issue an apology for their actions.
The Ahmedabad police responded by tweeting an update on the legal action taken against them. They confirmed that a case had been filed for recklessly endangering lives, based on the incident that took place on October 30, 2025.
Despite this controversy, Misri has been receiving favorable reviews. Viewers have described it as a heartfelt love story filled with emotion and captivating performances.
How do you think such promotional stunts should be handled in the future?
