These actors should be ashamed for promoting such a derogatory product at the expense of poor lives being succumbed to tobacco products.

Why is nobody questioning the holier than thou SRK… looking at his last 2 film BO he definitely isn’t in need of money. So desperation cannot be an excuse to continue doing these ads.
