Bollywood actor John Abraham believes in healthy lifestyle and not in favour of something that is bad for our body or health. In an interview, John, who will be seen in 'Vedaa', condemned those who promote or endorse paan masala and gutka brands. He didn't take names of any actor, but slammed them for the endorsements.
There has been a debate going on since long on actors endorsing or appearing in paan masala and gutka ads. Actors like Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar and others have appeared in several such ads for which they have been chastised. However, in 2022, Akshay had announced that he wouldn바카라t be part of such ads, after facing backlash from people.
John recently appeared on Ranveer Allahbadia바카라s podcast, where he said he wants to be a 'role model' for his fans and would never 바카라sell death바카라 himself. He is not someone who promotes health and fitness and at the same time promotes such products that cause harm. The actor said, 바카라If I live my life with honesty, and if I practice what I preach, then I바카라m a role model. But if I바카라m presenting a fake version of myself in the public and behaving like a different person behind their back, they바카라ll spot it''.
Taking an indirect jibe at the actors who appear in such ads, John said, 바카라People talk about fitness, and the same people endorse paan masala. I love all my actor friends and I바카라m not disrespecting any of them. I want to make it clear that I바카라m talking about myself. But I will not sell death, because it바카라s a matter of principle.'' He added, ''Do you know that the yearly turnover for the paan masala industry is Rs 45,000 crore? Which means that even the government is supporting it, and that바카라s why it isn바카라t illegal.바카라
On the work front, John is gearing up for 'Vedaa' with Sharvari Wagh. The action drama is all set to hit the theatres on August 15.
