The Bollywood Khiladi has had to face huge backlash following his endorsement of the pan masala brand, Vimal.

As a result, the actor has decided to withdraw from the pan masala brand in what seems like damage control. He has published an apology for the endorsement that has raised eyebrows and took to his official Twitter handle to express his regret over the decision.

But this doesn’t stop here. After the celeb published an apology for the endorsement netizens shared another old image of the actor where he once did an ad for a cigarette brand.

“While I have not endorsed tobacco”!! Cigarettes are made of gulkand (rose petals preserve) kya? Liar,” tweeted journalist Ujval Nanavati. “And then there’s Bagpiper. And sugary colas. Pity a country where a person like you is a role model of success,” a Twitter user wrote pointing out Akki’s old images.
