Once actors make it to the headlines for their glamourous lives and successful careers, they often get invites to promote a wide range of products. While majority of such endorsement deals leave fans impressed, a few others leave them questioning their idols' choice. Ever since Hollywood actor Pierce Brosnan’s Pan Bahar commercial was released, his fans have been in shock and unable to understand what exactly made the James Bond star support the brand. While the actor has now apologised to Indian fans for the “unauthorised and deceptive use" of his image in the advertising campaign, many of us can’t stop laughing when we recall his print and TV commercials. The reason? We seriously haven’t seen anything as strange as this.
Here’s a lowdown on other celebrity endorsements that generated similar buzz:
Shah Rukh Khan agreed to feature in a commercial for a product that was chiefly considered the domain of female actors. He showed no inhibitions in getting into a bathtub with four leading actresses surrounding him.
The one thing we always expect when Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan, the power couple of Bollywood, share screen space is indelible impact. The couple was seen playing an adorable husband-wife for this commercial.
After Malaika Arora Khan crooned Mai Zandu Balm Hui Darling Tere Liye in the popular song Munni Badnam, she even endorsed the product. And, she also grooved to the peppy number for the advertisement.
Agreed, Salman Khan can do justice to any role, perform the most daring stunts with utmost ease and do anything that might appear impossible to his contemporaries. But the star endorsing a detergent was unexpected.
Bollywood stars look convincing every time they endorse products such as jewelry, tea, biscuits. What's you take on this?
