Let’s segregate the issues here.
1st Issue: Fraud: She has Asthama and still smoking
Cigarette smoke can trigger asthma symptoms. Despite this, about 21% of people with asthma smoke, even though cigarette smoke is known to trigger asthma attacks. The prevalence of smoking in people with asthma is similar to, or even higher than the general community, being ~19% to 25% for European and Northern American countries.
2nd Issue: Hypocrisy
Celebrity advertising is very common. It is used for cashing on celebrity stardom. But what also very common is celebrity hypocrisy. Leonardo DiCaprio a passionate environmentalist, travels everywhere by private jet. Many such examples out there.
I agree she made a mistake when she used crackers at her marriage...
But the campaign in itself was not wrong. It was a harmless advertisement for society benefit.
3rd issue: Attacking Hindu Religion
She didn’t say ban celebrating Hindu Religion, Diwali. She just advertised don’t use crackers. Nothing wrong here in my opinion.
