Indian cinema or Bollywood stars have a deep social impact and people consider them as role models. Therefore, when a Bollywood actor endorses harmful products like gutkha, pan masala, or keshar, it causes concern. In this article, you will learn about Bollywood actors who promote Gutkha, and Pan Masala.
Amitabh Bachchan: Bollywood’s most famous actor who is also known as Megastar. He was often seen in Kamala Pasand’s ad campaigns to promote it. The National Tobacco Abolition Organization asked to distance itself from the Pan Masala advertising campaign as it influences the youth. He withdrew from that ad campaign after much criticism from fans on social media.
Ajay Devgan and Shahrukh Khan: Bollywood actor and producer Ajay Devgan’s name has been associated with Vimal Pan Masala for a long time. He has become the face of the brand and has been in several commercials. The most recent ad is an ad that also stars Shah Rukh Khan. Shahrukh Khan and Ajay Devgan appeared in a Vimal advertisement for the first time in 2021. Fans were surprised by the combination of the two actors.
Akshay Kumar: The Bollywood star has been seen endorsing Baba Elaichi and Vimal products. He is also known as a fitness inspiration in the industry. He stepped down as a tobacco brand ambassador after facing opposition on social media. And for this, he apologized to his fans.
Salman Khan: Salman joins the pan masala group with Rajshree Elaichi advertisement. You can see this advertisement more than 50 times on television these days.

Tiger Shroff: Tiger Shroff was featured in the advertisement for Pan Bahar. After this advertisement, Tiger Sharroof has been asked this question many times by his fans, ‘Is it right to promote Pan Masala while being such a fitness freak himself? You have so many followers, your work is also followed by so many people. How can you promote such things?”
Mahesh Babu: Mahesh Babu is an Indian Telugu film actor. But this was also in the same Pan Bahar advertisement in which Tiger Sharaf was also with him. Fans got angry after seeing this mega star in the Pan Masala ad.
