8 Bollywood Celebrities Who REJECTED High-Paying Endorsements For Humanity!
When we talk about brand endorsement we think of a celebrity figurine holding the brand and saying the script that was given to them. Almost always the celebrity never really uses that brand and is only paid to promote a certain brand as a marketing strategy.
Many a times celebrities are also lashed out at for promoting something false and giving fake advertisements for the sake of money and trying to dupe the customers. There are very celebrities who truly care about the viewers and deny to promote something that goes against their moral ground and does not abide by the health-code or doesn’t truly live upto its promises.
