Veteran actor Annu Kapoor is once again in the spotlight, thanks to his latest commercial for sexual wellness brand Durex. The ad, which initially seems like a monologue about friendship, surprises viewers by promoting safe sex.

The Viral Durex Ad: A Surprising Twist
In an exclusive chat with News18 Showsha, Annu Kapoor expressed his gratitude for being part of the campaign and shared his thoughts on the reaction to the ad. “I appreciate the brand for getting me onboard, as they needed to convey an important message with seriousness. I’m happy with how the young audience has responded. They’ve taken it with wit and humour but without mocking it, which is exactly what the brand wanted to achieve,” Kapoor said.
Annu Kapoor on Striking a Chord with Younger Audiences
Despite being 70 years old, Kapoor continues to resonate with younger generations. He attributes this connection to his down-to-earth approach, stating that he doesn’t try to give lectures or motivational speeches, but instead shares life experiences in a rational and humble way. “I’m nobody to give them motivational speeches or life lessons. But I openly talk about my experiences with all humility. People may choose not to follow or believe me, but anything related to sex and violence always attracts human beings,” he remarked.
For Kapoor, the Durex ad clicked because it presented the message in a way that felt like a grandparent advising younger generations. “This old man is telling youngsters to take precautions and be careful. Some of them may be of the age of my grandchildren. I’m giving them the right direction as a grandparent, in an entertaining way. I urge them to take protection during sex,” he added.
Kapoor’s Thoughts on Sex and Non-Judgment
Kapoor also drew parallels between his Durex ad and his role in Vicky Donor, where he played a fertility expert running a sperm bank. He spoke about the need to approach discussions about sex with respect and seriousness, without judgment. “Sex is one of the most sacred and important physical aspects of human life. And it cannot be treated as a topic of stand-up comedy. We’re all a product of our parents’ sexual encounters. Sex is a divine gift from God, and we cannot take it lightly or mockingly,” Kapoor explained.
In conclusion, Kapoor reiterated the importance of safe sex and expressed his pride in being part of a campaign that addressed such an important topic. “Despite being laced with humour, these are subjects to be taken very seriously,” he said.
