Akshay Kumar Apology On Tobacco Issue - Page 2

As i know Akki never smokes or drinks.. it need guts to accept the mistake and back out of endorsement.

I think he didnot expect this backsplash from people because people didnot oppose Ajay or SRK as their are chain smokers which Akki is not.

Atleast now he realised his mistake and backed out.

I would have felt happy if he returned his money and cancelled his deal. But we donot know how strong the contract is, so want to give benefit of doubt here.

Wait, so he took the endorsement money (may or may not have donated it, we'll never know) and is now saying he made an irresponsible choice?😆How is the brand ok with this? You can't endorse a product and also diss it in the same breath😆

Faltu ki outrage hain. Bhenchod itni hi dikkat hain gutka se, seedha ban kiyu nahi karte usko. Aisa toh nahi hain, ki log gutka Ajay ya SRK ya koi bhi actor ko dekh ke khate hain. Gutka log pehle bhi khate the, aaj bhi khayenge, koi actor endorse na kare tab bhi khayenge.

I would respect SRK and Ajay more, if they don't back out.

Akshay's case is different because he's known for his fitness and discipline and has many times endorsed for a healthy lifestyle. He even spoke publically against celebrities doing ads for harmful products because public looks upto them.

On top of that he was in that government ad which plays before every movie where he's condemning smoking as it also has tobacco. So he easily got caught on his hypocrisy. Don't preach if you can't practice. SRK and Ajay never did any of that so they don't have to back off.

It's only SRK fans on the internet who have too high expectations from their idol. Ajay or his fans don't give a fuck!

And gutka ain't getting banned because then my choice liberal left wing group would get their panteis in a twist.

Abhi kitni bhi apology maang le, doglapan to dikh hi gaya iska. Anyways still better than ones who still haven't expressed any regret despite all the outrage.

Akki bhi nahi karta apologize...if people didn't troll him by playing his moral lecture over and over again.

If you project a certain image in the digital age, you will be called out.

Akshay talks about being fit and someone who does not smoke or drink so when he endorsed something like this he is bound to get a backlash. Also he spoke as he will never endorse such brands

SRK and Ajay are chainsmokers so no one cares. Ajay especially has never had a pr image, be it a family man or into fitness etc , he is what he is works for money and does not project either as a woke or has a holier than holy image.

That is why even SRK received that backlash during the whole Priyanka fiasco(not bothered whether it did or did not happen) but his so called image of a family man got shattered.

If you project a certain pr or image in front of audience you have to be very careful and mindful especially in this digital age where everything is recorded and stored.

A very good move by Akshay, his or seems to be doing damn good.

He apologized meaning acknowledgement of his mistake and respect his fans.

Also because of the contract Ads will still continue so he is not in any legal trouble.

Plus him donating the money(whether he gives or not) portrays him as generous.

His apology letter put across all things without going in to too many details, damn this is a great case study for marketing and pr

Look who's back lying again as usual. This is the same as his citizenship lies where he kept getting caught in his own web. Never endorsed tobacco? Say what?

And what's a worthy cause? Will he share it or are we supposed to trust him? Because he's not worthy of any trust at all when his apology itself starts off with lie.

I hope he knows a certain politician and political party can't be counted in "worthy cause" either.

Well played by his PR though. Ads stay on air, he gets to keep his money, and he can look good to the public that he might donate the money to something in the future. lol

Akki is a pathetic and serial liar....this is not the first time....he kept on saying that his Canadian citizenship was a dual citizenship....when India doesn't allow dual citizenship....and I don't understand how he blatantly lies about these things which are facts.....an Indian citizen CANNOT have dual citizenship is a law...warna hum kya pagal .... jo humare paas OCI card and and not citizenship.....when finally he saw that ab nahi chalega jhooth then he said well I am trying to get citizen ship back.....chahta toh ab tak 10 baar wapis mil gayi hoti citizenship......he also said....ki jitna pyaar mujhe Pakistan mein milta hai...kahin nahi milta hai.....lo itni badi Indian fandom faaltu ki hai iski......no one says anything to him...imagine SRK or Salman saying the same thing....😳

Oh the first time, he lied that Canada gave him honorary citizenship and that everyone should be proud of him. Canada only gave it to 6 people so far if I'm not mistaken. The audacity. Then he changed it to the dual citizenship lie which India doesn't allow. After that came a new story that he applied for citizenship when he was flopping but had not been to Canada in 7 years. Except of course that was a lie too - the Canadian media did a whole expose on this fraud that he got the citizenship by promoting their PM Harper. And of course people found pics of him in Canada in those years he claimed he never visited.

Recently this pathological liar had claimed he applied for Indian citizenship. Can someone tell me how long it takes? Because I'm sure he was lying into the wind as usual being the sociopath that he is.

Even this so-called apology starts with a lie as usual that he's never endorsed tobacco. He was so cunning that he didn't even come up with a charity name for some future donation. Just fobbed it off as "worthy cause." The worthy cause could be himself too. lmao

This guy really should join politics. He lies with impunity and he knows how to make a fool out of the gullible public. He plays it off so well and comes out looking good too. He was born to be a politician and should just go and do it and spare us his crap movies.

Tbh I don't have high expectations from any of the bw celebs.

Inka to bas wahi hai ki - paisa phenko, tamasha dekho. Chahe reel ho ya real life.
