John Abraham Strongly Reacts to Actors Who Endorse Paan Masala Brands, ‘You’re Selling Death’ The actor criticized those who talk about fitness and health and on the other hand, advertise paan masala brands and sold them as mouth-fresheners.
John Abraham recently expressed his strong reactions to celebrities in the film industry who endorse gutka and paan masala products. These commercials don’t receive a positive reaction in general.
The controversy around these endorsements has long been a debate among fans, especially since top stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar, and Ajay Devgn have appeared in advertisements for these substances. In response to public criticism, Akshay even distanced himself from such brand endorsements and apologized to his fans.
On Ranveer Allahbadia’s podcast, John expressed frustration with the contradiction between actors discussing health and fitness while promoting harmful products like paan masala. He said that he would never want to ‘sell death’ himself. He said he wants to be a ‘role model’ for his fans and will smell dishonesty in him if he doesn’t practice what he preaches. He said, “If I live my life honestly and what I preach to people, then I am a role model. But if I am presenting a fake version of myself to the public and pretending to be a different man behind their back, they will recognize it.”
John Abraham Lashed out at those Promoting Paan Masala Brands
He further said, “People talk about fitness and the same people promote paan masala. I love all my actor friends and I am not disrespecting any of them. I want to make it clear that I am talking about myself. But I will not sell death, because it is a matter of principle”. Do you know that the annual turnover of the Paan Masala Industry is Rs 45,000 crore? This means that the government is also supporting it, and hence it is not illegal.

The actor questioned those who are endorsing such brands and how they’re often sold as mouth-fresheners. “You’re selling death”. How can you live with this?”
Shahrukh Khan, Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgan were the Target
Let us tell you that Akshay Kumar, Shahrukh Khan, and Ajay Devgan have promoted paan masala together. In such a situation, there was a lot of opposition from the three stars, after which Akshay Kumar apologized and said that he had decided not to advertise paan masala anymore.
