Twitterati Digs Out Akshay Kumar's Old Cigarette Ad, Calls Out His Hypocrisy
To make things worse, an old video of the actor talking about his views on tobacco consumption surfaced online and it has sent social media into a frenzy.
Mumbai: Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar has had to face massive backlash following his endorsement for pan masala brand, Vimal. He had earlier vowed to never associate himself with any pan masala brand.
His contradictory actions has drawn widespread criticism from netizens with various memes highlighting his hypocrisy circulating on social media platforms.
To make things worse, an old video of the actor talking about his views on tobacco consumption surfaced online and it has sent social media into a frenzy.
As a result, the actor has decided to withdraw from the pan masala brand in what seems like an attempt to heal the wounds. He has published an apology for the endorsement that has raised eyebrows and took to his official Twitter handle to express his regret over the decision.
However, this is not the first time that he has done an ad endorsing it. The celeb once did an ad for a cigarette brand too and Twitterati's have pointed this out as well.
Akshay Kumar, who is a fitness freak himself, had claimed that he believes in the concept of 'swasth Bharat,' but it seems like his actions speak otherwise.
Here's how other netizens have responded to the smoke brand's ad.
But, this is not the first time that netizens have shed light on the actor's cigarette ad. It seems like people have called it out long before this Vimal fiasco as well.
