‘Herogiri phu phu karne me nahi, thu thu karne me hai’ – Fans slam Akshay Kumar as he rejoins SRK, Ajay Devgn for new elaichi advertisement

Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar has come under fire from fans and critics alike after he recently joined Shah Rukh Khan and Ajay Devgn in a new advertisement for ‘Vimal’ pan masala brand. The trio, known for their iconic roles in the Indian film industry, has faced backlash for endorsing a product that has raised concerns about public health.

However, this time they are not promoting pan masala as in the advertisement it is mentioned that the product is flavoured elaichi (cardamom) but the product is from a brand which also produces pan masala due to the decision of these A-list actors to promote such a product has disappointed and irked many fans.

Social media platforms have been flooded with criticism, with fans expressing their disapproval and concern for the actors’ choice of endorsement. Many have accused the stars of prioritizing financial gains over their social responsibility as influential figures in society.

Akshay has faced backlash earlier as well

While celebrities often endorse various products, this particular collaboration has sparked outrage due to the health risks associated with pan masala consumption. Critics argue that actors of such stature should be more mindful of the products they endorse, as their actions can significantly influence the choices of their fan base.

As the controversy continues to brew, it remains to be seen whether these Bollywood icons will respond to the criticism and reconsider their involvement in this contentious advertisement. Especially, Akshay, who addressed the fans earlier when he faced the backlash for the first he shot for the Pan masala brand.

Social media platforms are also abuzz with reactions ranging from excitement to disappointment. Some fans have expressed their enthusiasm for seeing three of Bollywood’s biggest stars come together, anticipating a memorable and entertaining commercial. Akshay, known for his prolific acting skills and diverse endorsements, has previously worked on solo advertisements promoting various products.
