Sunny Deol’s old pan masala ad resurfaces after the ‘Batwara1947’ actor claimed he would never endorse it; fan says, ‘Log elaichi bech rahe hai, yeh sidha pan masala bech diya’ |
Sunny Deol recently claimed that he would never promote pan masala or cardamom brands even if he was offered millions of rupees for it. His statement comes after the Maharashtra FDA issued notices to Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgn and Tiger Shroff over indirect promotion of a pan masala brand. However, an old advertisement featuring Sunny has resurfaced online, seemingly contradicting her claim and leaving netizens amused.
Speaking on Shubhankar Mishra’s podcast, Sunny Deol stated that unlike other Bollywood stars, he refuses to endorse pan masala or elaichi brands. Actors like Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn, Shah Rukh Khan and Tiger Shroff have faced criticism in the past for endorsing an elaichi brand. The ‘Border 2’ actor’s comment quickly went viral and fans praised him for taking a stand. However, Internet users soon unearthed an old advertisement that told a different story.
