Prachi Nigam drew notice with her amazing performance in the Class 10 board exams of Uttar Pradesh, where she scored an astounding 98.5 percent. Nevertheless, trolls started making fun of her for having facial hair rather than praising her. This regrettable circumstance highlighted another facet of our culture's mentality, which prioritizes appearance above real accomplishments. This is seen in the extensive discourse on social media regarding Nigam's appearance and her intellectual prowess.

Bombay Shaving Company's unexpected! 

Unexpectedly, a company has now chosen to join the discussion, voicing support for the adolescent while tactfully endorsing its own line of goods. Many were taken aback by this decision, and many on the internet chastised the business for taking advantage of such a delicate matter.

A.I.R and the rank

Everything started when 'X' user Gabbar Singh posted a screen grab of an advertisement in the newspaper for the women's face razor Bombae, which is made by the Bombay Shaving Company. "Dear Prachi, they are teasing your hair today, they will applaud your A.I.R. tomorrow," the advertisement said, addressing Prachi. It did not stop there, though. 
There was more to it, though. The note underneath urged her to use their razor and to resist giving in to bullying. "We hope you never be bullied into using your razor," they say. The question of whether the brand was taking advantage of the circumstance for personal benefit was raised by this subtle promotional strategy.

Criticism in cards for the brand!

The original poster (OP) immediately received criticism, saying things such, "The kid would want this program to stop as soon as possible." However, no! A company wants to rebrand themselves. without her permission. to market their personal razors. Extremely bad taste "Marketing is as cold a business as selling caskets," another person remarked.

Prachi's comment is pending 

Although Prachi has not commented on the advertising directly, she did once say, "Trollers can live with their thinking, I am delighted that my achievement is now my identity," in response to the severe trolling she received. She added, "I never worried about my appearance, and my family, professors, and friends never made fun of me for how I looked. People did not begin to harass me until my photo was released following the results, at which point I became aware of the issue.
