Ajay Devgn is among those highly respected superstars in Bollywood. His commercial Vimal pan masala along with the advertisement slogan ‘Bolo Zuban Kesari’ is so popular that it has been used as a meme for almost all occasions. But did you know that the actor landed in trouble because of the ad? Read on.
A 40-year-old guy named Nanakram, who claimed to an
ardent fan of the star, claimed that he has been using exactly the same product
that the actor endorses. In addition, he said that tobacco has caused an
adverse effect on his life and he is suffering from cancer.
Nanakram, who is from Rajasthan, made an appeal to Ajay
Devgan to prevent endorsing tobacco
products in the interest of society. He even circulated nearly 1000 pamphlets
explaining how much he and his family chews tobacco. The pamphlets are posted
on the walls in Sanganer, Jagatpura and nearby areas of the city.
Speaking to news agency PTI, Nanakram’s son Dinesh Meena
said, “My father Nanakram Meena began chewing tobacco a couple of years ago and
was using the exact same brand for which Ajay Devgn does the advertisement. My dad
was impressed with Ajay
Devgan but when he had been diagnosed
with cancer, he believed that such a big star should not promote for these
kinds of products.”
In the pamphlet, Nanakram also urged that actors should
not promote products like liquor, cigarette and tobacco. He is a father of two
kids and runs a tea-stall in Sanganer town of Jaipur. Because of cancer, he
cannot speak now.
