‘You’re Selling Death, How Can You Live With It?’: John Abraham Reacts To Actor’s Endorsing ‘Paan Masala’
John Abraham recently slammed actors for endorsing ‘paan masala’ and stated that he would never ‘sell death’
Actor John Abraham has made a name for himself in the Hindi entertainment industry with his action sequences and comic timings. Currently awaiting the release of his film Vedaa, he follows a disciplined health and fitness regime. He recently spoke up about the same on Ranveer Allahabadia’s podcast The Ranveer Show. The Satyameva Jayate actor went on to slam actors for endorsing ‘paan masala’ and stated that he would never ‘sell death’ during his appearance on the YouTube show.
The 51-year-old actor explained how people often urge their followers to follow a fitness routine, but on the other hand, also endorse paan masala. He expressed that while he isn’t disrespecting his actor friends who do so, he doesn’t want to “sell death” as it’s a matter of principle. Quoted by the Hindustan Times, John went on to say, “Do you know that the yearly turnover for the paan masala industry is ₹45,000 crore? Which means that even the government is supporting it, and that’s why it isn’t illegal. You’re selling death. How can you live with it?” ALSO READ: John Abraham TROLLED For Holding Manu Bhaker's Paris Olympics Bronze Medal, Netizens Say 'You Shouldn't Touch It'
