YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAfter being trolled massively on the internet for appearing in advertisements for an elaichi brand, 'Mission Raniganj' actor Akshay Kumar chose to react to the news reports and posted a clarification on his social media handle. The actor re-shared a report from an entertainment portal and wrote, 'Returns’ as ambassador? Here’s some fact check for you Bollywood Hungama, if by chance you are interested in things other than fake news. These ads were shot on 13th October, 2021. I have not had anything to do with the brand ever since I publicly announced the discontinuation of the endorsement. They can legally run the already shot ads till the end of next month. Chill and do some real news.' Akshay had a while ago issued an apology after being trolled for doing the said advertisement alongwith Shah Rukh Khan and Ajay Devgn. He had announced his disassociation from the brand through a social media post that read, 'I am sorry. I would like to apologise to you, all my fans and well-wishers. Your reaction over the past few days has deeply affected me. While I have not and will not endorse tobacco, I respect the outpouring of your feelings. With all humility, I step back. I have decided to contribute the entire endorsement fee towards a worthy cause. The brand might continue airing the ads till the legal duration of the contract that is binding upon me, but I promise to be extremely mindful in making my future choices. In return, I shall forever continue to ask for your love and wishes.' AKshay Kumar has an interesting lineup of films including 'Welcome 3', 'Housefull 5' and 'Bade Miyan Chote Miyan'.
