Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar has recently endorsed a tobacco brand for which he faced a lot of outrage from his fans and netizens on social media. The fans expressed their disappointment and displeasure over his association with this tobacco brand and the actor had personally gone through all the feedback.
Finally, he decided to step back and also issued a public apology for endorsing a tobacco brand. Akshay Kumar took to his Twitter profile and issued a statement regarding the same.
“I am sorry. I would like to apologize 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 in light of my association with Vimal Elaichi. With all humility, I step back,” said Akshay Kumar.
However, the brand might continue airing the ads till the legal duration of the contract comes to an end. Akshay also confirmed the same.
“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.
