Days after actor Rahul Bose complained online that the JW Marriott in Chandigarh had charged him Rs 422 for two bananas, Twitter is sharing screenshots of Taj Hotels’ message to guests that complimentary fruits would be offered.
“Meanwhile, in the land of trolling JW Marriott,” a Twitter user wrote in a tweet on Friday, sharing a picture of Taj’s message to its patrons. The tweet sparked hilarious reactions online. “Unfair comparison. You need to order two bananas in the gym,” one person wrote. Others offered variations of the famous ad slogan, “Waah Taj.”

“You have to see this to believe it. Who said fruit wasn’t harmful to your existence? Ask the wonderful folks at @JWMarriottChd #goingbananas #howtogetfitandgobroke #potassiumforkings,” the actor had tweeted on July 22.
He explained in the video that he had ordered bananas after hitting the gym at the hotel. However, he was in for a shock when he saw the bill of Rs 442.50, including GST, listed the bananas as ‘Fruit Platter’. The actor said the bananas are “just too good for me”.

Twitter had a field day. While some said the bill was “just bananas”, others called out the hotel for “cheating their customers”. Several people also advised the actor to take the matter up with the hotel. When contacted, a spokesperson for JW Marriott stated, “We are examining the issue and we will be shortly releasing an official statement.”
