10 Actors Who Turned Down Lucrative Endorsements For Their Principles!

Endorsements have got a lot of Bollywood stars in trouble and with the recent example of Maggi and its brand ambassadors Amitabh Bachchan and Madhuri Dixit, stars have become a little too careful about the products they endorse. Such is their stardom that people tend to blindly believe them and follow. 

Though not all the actors distance themselves from endorsements because of legality, a few do it on moral grounds. They don't support any cause or product because it will fetch them money, but as a responsible citizen, they want to lend their name to a brand which goes with their principles. 

Anushka Sharma has made it very clear that she will never endorse any product that propagates racist and sexist remarks. She has said, "I don't want to endorse products that propagate fair skin and all. I will not propagate anything that says this is right or wrong."

Randeep Hooda too has a problem with India's obsession with skin colour. He made it very clear that he will not endorse a fairness brand. He says, "India, as a country, has an obsession with fairness, whereas the entire world is lying under the sun and getting a tan. I think men should be tall, dark and handsome and not tall, fair and handsome."

After a confrontation with a school kid, Amitabh Bachchan stopped promoting a cola brand. The kid quizzed Amitabh Bachchan about endorsing a product that her teacher said was harmful. Ever since Big B has been careful about the products he endorses and he also turned down an offer because the subject was somewhere close to dowry.
