John Abraham, known for his commitment to fitness and healthy living, has taken a robust stance against actors who endorse ‘paan masala’ brands. Abraham recently voiced his concerns concerning the impact of such endorsements during a podcast with Ranveer Allahabadia.
John Abraham criticizes paan masala endorsements by big stars, calls them ‘selling death’: “People discuss fitness, and the identical people endorse it”
John Abraham’s critique revolves across the juxtaposition of fitness advocacy with the promotion of products known for his or her detrimental health effects. He expressed his disapproval of actors endorsing paan masala, comparing it to “selling death.” Abraham emphasized that such endorsements are contradictory to the health-centric image many actors’ project. “People discuss fitness, and the identical people endorse paan masala,” he said. “I like all my actor friends and I’m not disrespecting any of them. I have the desire to make it clear that I’m talking about myself. But I won’t sell death, since it’s a matter of principle.”
The actor elaborated on his stance by highlighting the size of the paan masala industry, noting its massive annual turnover of Rs. 45,000 crore. He questioned how actors could reconcile promoting a product that contributes to significant health issues while publicly advocating for a healthy lifestyle. “Do you already know that the yearly turnover for the paan masala industry is Rs. 45,000 crore? Which implies that even the federal government is supporting it, and that’s why it isn’t illegal. You’re selling death. How are you going to live with it?”
The subject of paan masala endorsements has not been without controversy. Notable actors similar to Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgn, and Akshay Kumar have faced criticism for his or her involvement in such advertisements. In response to backlash, Akshay Kumar has announced that he’ll not take part in promoting paan masala, aligning with Abraham’s stance on the difficulty.
John Abraham, whose upcoming film Vedaa is about to release on August 15, continues to advocate for integrity each in his skilled and private life. Within the podcast, he underscored his desire to be a real role model. “If I live my life with honesty, and if I practice what I preach, then I’m a job model,” he stated. “But when I’m presenting a fake version of myself in public and behaving like a distinct person behind their back, they’ll spot it.”
On the work front, John Abraham’s future projects include The Diplomat, Tariq, and Tehran, all of that are produced by his own banner, JA Entertainment.
