In the recent times, many Bollywood celebrities have been called out for their careless choices of promoting unhealthy products. While Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn and Sharukh Khan were called out for promoting tobacco, now Alia Bhatt has been called out for her double standards about sugary drinks.
Shared by a Twitter user, the video contains a clip from The Kapil Sharma Show where Alia, while promoting Kalank, tells Varun that she doesn’t consume sugar and that it isn’t good for health. On the hand, there is also a montage of several of Alia’s advertisements where she’s promoting sugary products like a fruit-based preserved drink, a cola drink, an ice cream, a chocolate cookie & chocolate.
With the caption of “Know your Bollywood icons”, the video went viral in no time.
