This sizzling actress has a number of brands to her endorsement kitty like Boro Plus, Airtel, Head and Shoulders, ITC Soap, Emami Winter Care Cream, ICI Paints, Citizen Watches and what not. No wonder she looks so confident these days, as she's earning a fortune. Bebo recently said in an interview that she's very brand conscious and uses only foreign brands, especially when it comes to skin products. Guess she forgot for a second that she's endorsing Boro Plus in India. Minus, minus minus this plus!




King Khan can leave everyone behind when it comes to brand endorsements. SRK endorses brands like Emami Fairness cream, Pepsi, Hyundai Santro, Sunfeast, Airtel, Emami- Sona Chandi Chyawanprash, Lux and also Compaq Presario. Gosh! And how funny! If he endorses Hyundai, why does he move around in a Mercedes Benz. Well, yes we can so believe you drive that car Shahrukh! And to top it all Emami Fairness Cream How could he? We could understand if actors like Rajnikant or even Madhavan would endorse fairness creams, but why SRK?




After doing a number of hit films in the last couple of years, this superstar, we guess has now decided to give flops one after the other in the ad industry. He's one Badshah in the funny adworld. He's already a millionaire but god alone knows why does he endorse funny brands and degrade himself by doing Hajmola, Himani Fast Relief, Rin, Dabur Phudin Hara and Navratna Hair Oil ads. They're extremely senseless, aren't they? Also, it's so funny to hear Big B say in an interview, "Well, I would suggest everyone to buy Navratna oil. Believe it or not, but only because of Navratna Hair Oil I feel relaxed all the time and it helps me stay calm." But what about your hair? Only Cadbury and Reid and Taylor ads are ads that suit Big B's age. In short, Pappu ad ki duniya mein fail ho gaya!



Wow! Now this actor who's known not for his acting but only for shouting at a high pitch is chosen to endorse a baniyan and an undergarment ad. Sunny features in the Rupa Underwear ad and Rupa's joke line is 'Tum Rupa underwear pehenoge toh Rupa kya Pehenegi'? Does that mean Sunny's more comfortable wearing ladies underwear? Erm..ahem. And why would anybody in this world want to wear Sunny di chaddi or chaddi brand endorsed by Sunny? Men would obviously use a brand that makes them feel comfy, not toughie.



Karisma Kapoor endorses a number of brands, but they're all funny and the funniest among all is the 'Shakti Bhog Atta' ad. Why, let's not even go there? Another funny ad is the 'Priyagold' biscuit ad, which one can't miss out on. She said in an interview, "I've grown up eating these biscuits and like the taste immensely. In fact I agreed to endorse the product because of my personal preference for Priyagold products." Ya, right Karisma, you expect us to believe that and help Priyagold product make good money.



This actress and cricketer endorse Big Bazaar. So totally believable, isn't it? Do you think they themselves must be wearing that brand? They're brand conscious people, why would they wear Big Bazaar T-shirts, denims or any other outfit when they can afford to buy expensive branded clothes. Some newbie should have been signed for this brand; we don't understand why did these two had to endorse Big Bazaar.



Is there anybody else in this world who can be extremely annoying as well as funny at the same time? Well, we don't think there's anybody else apart from Govinda. Even Govinda was foolish enough to endorse Navratna Hair Oil. But what's the result? He's almost half bald today? Is Navratna Hair Oil responsible for it? Or not using the oil? Only Govinda can tell best.

😆 I find this article VERY funny! thanks for the article!!! =)
The thing the writer does not understand, though, is that all these products are mostly bought by middle-class people. And by using Celebrities ad-makers try to show the middle-class that watch tv a lot that it's okay to use these products because even Celebs use them.
Also who says Celebs don't use oil in their hair? hajmola for their digestion problems? biscuits? Are celebs not humans? it's the media that makes celebs hi-fi beings...when they really are not.

They are normal people just like us. I don't really understand why people get too over excited when it comes to them.

Appreciate their work and appreciate the kind of cinema they believe in but do not go overboard by deciding what they should or should not do as well as spending too much time commenting about them when there is so much to do and so much to learn.

Arrey whats wong in endorsing Hajmola.. its just a candy.. and even dabur chamanprash or any oils.. Sorry but i dont get the joke...lolz These stars are just actors they are not aritrocrates or kings.. they have to earn money and that is why they do these adds.. Anywayz bolly movies dont earn tat much.. so this is one way actors get paid.. As Srk said once doing adds gives him freedom to choose good movies without paying attention to remunitions..

SRK 'used' to (as in the past) endorse that fairness cream but he stopped endorsing it a long time ago when he found out his fans were so upset about it... i wish i could say the same for some other celebs who still continue to endorse fairness creams... what a shame...!!
other than that, i agree with adios... they do these endorsements because at the end of the day, that's what their job entails... they can't earn that much from movies anyways... and yes, SRK has said he does not earn that much from the movies anyways... not only srk, stars like akki, salman and rani even dance at weddings... nothing that wrong about it.... unfortunately, besides working in movies, these are the sort of things that they can do... they're entertainers at the end of the day... and just like other common people, they also need a source of income... so they cash in on what they have... !

It's like that KWK game where Kareena said Sonakshi would be good as a housewife and Sonakshi responded that Kareena should be a gossip...
