The famous Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan has found himself at the center of a controversy after appearing in a new ad campaign for a pan masala brand. A video that emerged on Wednesday showed him endorsing a cardamom product from the same company. In the clip, Hrithik seems to channel a ‘Top Gun’ or ‘Mission Impossible’ vibe, complete with a romantic storyline involving a glamorous companion.
The ad features Hrithik dropping off his love interest at a private airport. While he thinks he’s simply saying goodbye, she’s actually plotting to swipe his box of silver-coated cardamom, even forgetting her bag in his car in the process. Hrithik, meanwhile, is seen savoring a spoonful of the product before boarding a private jet to return her forgotten bag. The commercial’s slick production and Hrithik’s suave performance might have been eye-catching, but many fans were let down by his decision to endorse the brand.
This is not the first time that people are angry with an actor for endorsing pan masala companies, earlier Akshay Kumar invited the wrath of his fans by featuring in an ad of a pan masala brand.
Here is the video in which you can see the ad:
