Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui has been seen featuring in a series of funny advertisements of Kenwood corporations for Pakistan. The ads surround the common concept of men being men. Nawaz plays a dutiful husband to his wife but quips somethings typically a man would and then it puts him in trouble with his wife. The concept is of everyday tongue-in-cheek kind of situations, which also add the humour element to these ads. They are refreshing and show how a husband ends up being scared of his wife.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui can very effortlessly carry off regular roles. He doesn't necessarily luxe, he can play the very normal chap, just like in these ads. In one of the ads, he is seen returning from a party with his wife. While talking about it he mentions of a lady's attire, along with the colour details, obviously making his wife jealous. She then starts questioning him about others and he falters. In another instance, it is shown that he and his friends are sitting and chilling together, with Nawaz boasting about he can control his wife's attitude. He is seen telling his friends that how he shouts at her and hit her too. Just then a friend mocks and greets Nawaz's wife and he is naturally scared of the thought that she listened to all his conversations. All these ads are about electronic appliances and are funnily interwoven with the idea! This ad however, faced criticism for making a lighter note of domestic violence. Kenwood company had later apologised for the same.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui is over-complimenting!
Nawazuddin Siddiqui has dared to make a wrong compliment in front of his wife!
These advertisements are funny in their own way depicting how men will always be men. They will mock their wife or compliment someone else and try to make it up with their wives. The way Nawaz showcases fear is just how a husband too generally has to be careful from his wife about. So can we safely say men will be men and wives will be wives?
