Bollywood star actor Anil Kapoor is killing it in special roles lately. His performances in Fighter and Animal earned widespread acclaim. At 67, Anil Kapoor is giving youngsters a run for their money with his ever-charming looks. Recently, the Hindi actor turned down a pan masala endorsement deal of Rs. 10 crores, which made him the talk of the down.
A pan masala company approached Anil Kapoor with a lucrative offer, but the star instantly said no since he believes it is his responsibility not to promote products that cause harm to the health of the public. Anil Kapoor opines that he has a sense of social responsibility towards his fans and audience.
Recently, another Bollywood actor, Kartik Aaryan, also declined to be the brand ambassador of a pan masala product. While actors like Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgn, and Akshay Kumar are facing the heat from netizens for promoting tobacco and pan masala products, Anil Kapoor and Kartik Aaryan chose to be away from them, and their decision deserves applause.
