Kartik Aaryan's Paan Masala Rejection: A Funny Twist

Kartik Aaryan recently shared that he declined an offer to endorse paan masala, despite being tempted by the opportunity. His co-star in the upcoming film Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, Vidya Balan, humorously commented on his decision, suggesting that he chose to promote condoms instead, emphasizing that they are health products.

This light-hearted exchange highlights the contrast between the two endorsements and showcases the camaraderie between the actors on and off the set. Vidya's joke also underlines a shift in focus towards more responsible advertising choices in the industry.

During the interview, he remarked, “I have refused paan masala ads. They tempted me with a lot of things, but I was never tempted to do that at all.” Vidya playfully pointed out the "competition" between endorsing paan masala and condoms, highlighting Kartik's commendable decision.

The conversation reflects a growing trend among celebrities to be more selective about their endorsements, particularly concerning health-related products. Other actors, like John Abraham and Akshay Kumar, have also publicly distanced themselves from paan masala endorsements, with Akshay even apologizing to fans for his previous involvement and pledging to donate the earnings.

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, directed by Anees Bazmi, is set to release on November 1, 2024, and features a star-studded cast, including Madhuri Dixit and Triptii Dimri, in a box office clash with Singham Again.

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is scheduled to hit theaters on November 1, 2024, and it will face competition at the box office from Singham Again. Directed by Anees Bazmi, this installment in the Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise promises to deliver a mix of comedy and horror, featuring a talented cast that includes Madhuri Dixit and Triptii Dimri alongside Kartik Aaryan. With both films poised for release on the same day, it will be interesting to see which one captures the audience's attention and performs better at the box office.
