Peddling Death, Seriously? How Do You Sleep at Night?

New Delhi: John Abraham has once again decided to play the moral police of Bollywood. His latest crusade? Calling out fellow actors who endorse paan masala and gutka, those lovely products that scream ‘health hazard.’ On Ranveer Allahbadia’s podcast, John went full throttle, condemning the hypocritical practice of promoting fitness on one hand and hawking death on the other. Ah, the sweet smell of irony!

"Actors who talk about health and then endorse paan masala? I have zero patience for them. I’d never sell death," John declared, probably while flexing his gym-honed biceps for added emphasis. 🎬💪

John insists that his unwavering commitment to authenticity is what truly makes him a role model. "If I live honestly and practice what I preach, then I’m a role model. But if I’m a fake in public and different in private, people will see through it," he insisted.

He went on to highlight the colossal scale of the paan masala industry, which apparently rakes in a staggering Rs 45,000 crore annually. "Do you know that the yearly turnover for the paan masala industry is Rs 45,000 crore? You’re selling death. How can you live with it?" he questioned, as if he were the Gandhi of modern times. 🙄

Now, let’s not forget the A-listers who’ve faced the wrath of public opinion for their association with these controversial brands. Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, Shah Rukh Khan—yes, even the King Khan himself—have all been under fire. In 2022, Akshay Kumar even felt the need to publicly apologize after appearing in an ad for Vimal Elaichi alongside the other two. He clarified on X that while he’s never endorsed tobacco, he’s since stepped back from the endorsement. "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," he wrote.

Nisha’s Nutshell: The Bollywood circus never disappoints! If you’re going to preach fitness, maybe don’t moonlight as a paan masala salesman. Remember, hypocrisy is the only thing more toxic than gutka! 😜
