We all are aware of how consumption of tobacco is injurious to our health in more ways than one. But still, we see multiple shops selling them publically. In fact, many celebs are also guilty of, directly or indirectly, promoting tobacco consumption by endorsing brands selling them.
Back in 2019, when Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced a complete ban on electronic cigarettes and vapes, a section of people online demanded the ban of tobacco and tobacco products too.
Celebs like actor Mukesh Khanna have also raised their voice against it and also slammed Bollywood celebs for advertising such brands and smoking in commercials and movies. However, nothing has changed on the ground.
In fact, brands have now managed to rope in the Badshah of Bollywood to promote their products. Recently, Shah Rukh Khan was seen starring in the new Vimal commercial alongside its brand ambassador Ajay Devgn.
Take a look at the video here:
But as soon as the video went viral online, people including SRKโs fans took to Twitter to express their disapproval. Many flooded social media with jokes and memes mocking SRK for endorsing the brand.
