Akshay Kumar apologized
Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar has apologized for advertising tobacco products. At the same time, he said that the money earned from the advertisement of that organization should be spent on social welfare work.
Akshay apologized in a post on social media on Wednesday. There he wrote, ‘I am sincerely sorry. Apologies to the fans and well wishers. Over the last few days, your response has greatly affected me. Although I have not directly supported tobacco and will not. However, the advertisement I have made for cardamom belongs to the tobacco company. '
Respecting your feelings, I have decided to stay away from this advertisement. I will also give the money taken from this organization for social welfare work. Due to the mandatory legal agreement, the company may continue to advertise for a certain period of time. But I promise to be extremely vigilant in the future. In return, I will always want your love and best wishes. '
For a long time now, actor Ajay Devgan has been the main character in the advertisement of the products of this tobacco company. Last year, Shah Rukh Khan joined Ajay as the face of advertisement. However, Akshay was the new addition to the company's advertising face. Fans could not accept his decision.
Fans also questioned how Akshay agreed to advertise a tobacco company, even talking about exercise and health. Their question was - then what is all the money? Some even refer to him as a 'hypocrite'. In the face of public outrage, Akshay finally withdrew from the advertisement.
