Welcoming the Delhi Government’s appeal to a couple of actors urging them not to endorse pan masala and tobacco products, noted actress Sunny Leone has informed that she wont be advertising any product releated to tobacco.
However, the future of her current endorsement contract for pan masala will be governed by the outcome of her discussions with the concerned company.
The development was informed by Delhi Government’s additional director for health S.K. Arora.
“I received a call from Daniel Weber, husband of Sunny Leone, and he has promised that in future, Sunny will not sign any contract for such kind of advertisements,” said Arora.
Earlier the Delhi Government had written to a couple of actors including Ajay Devgan, Sunny Leone, Govinda and Arbaz Khan to not endore any tobacco and pan masala related product.
The Delhi government has also asked the actors to join its anti-tobacco campaign to save the lives of lakhs of people who die due to oral cancer every year.
According to experts, areca nuts, the main ingredient in pan masala, is in the league of caffeine, tobacco and alcohol when it comes to addictive properties and also lead to a high number of cases of submucous fibrosis, which can easily turn cancerous.
