Are you the one who related Thums Up to Salman Khan? Then this news might not please you! Wondering what has happened? Well, Coca-Cola dropped Salman Khan as brand ambassador for its soft drink Thums Up after four years of association. The contract was to be renewed as it expired last month but the company chose not to renew it.
The joint statement released by the Bajrangi Bhaijaan actor and Coca-Cola says, "In light of this, both parties have mutually decided not to renew the current contract." The reason for not renewing the contract is Salman's association with the reality show, Bigg Boss.
This is not it!
Twitterati started blaming Khan for it, stating that it's because of the controversies he is a part of. Especially the actor's take on Pakistani artists saying "they were not terrorists" when asked whether they should be allowed to work in Indian films after the Uri attack.
Reportedly, Coca-Cola India is in talks with actor Ranveer Singh to replace 50-year-old Khan. However, the company didn't open up on any sort of details.
