It is known that Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar has received severe backlash for promoting a pan masala brand, Vimal.
After getting a lot of negativity from the fans, the B-Town actor has now announced that he has stepped back as ambassador for the pan masala brand.
At midnight, Akshay took to Twitter and apologised to his fans saying that he would be more cautious about the brands that he endorses in the future.
Akshay wrote, “I am sorry. I would like to apologise to you, all my fans and well-wishers. Your reaction over the past few days has deeply affected me. While I have not and will not endorse tobacco, I respect the outpouring of your feelings in light of my association with Vimal Elaichi. With all humility, I step back. I have decided to contribute the entire endorsement fee towards a worthy cause. The brand might continue airing the ads till the legal duration of the contract that is binding upon me, but I promise to be extremely mindful in making my future choices. In return I shall forever continue to ask for your love and wishes.”
The advertisement also featured Ajay Devgn and Shah Rukh Khan along with Akshay Kumar.
