Sunny Deol on pan masala endorsement
During a podcast with Shubhankar Mishra, Sunny was asked about his absence from pan masala commercials. To which he replied, "I don’t do pan masala ads and I won’t do it ever. I wouldn't do any of those things. They do come to me but I refuse. I don’t want to do something which I don’t believe in. I don’t believe in these things. I don’t think this is a good thing to promote."
He further added, "I don’t do a lot of things because my inner conscience does not allow me to. And I do things which I am okay with,” he said.

During the conversation, he also spoke about his limited presence in advertising compared with several other Bollywood stars. "If I represent India and I represent the way of everything else, somehow ads don’t come to me. Why don't they come to me, I have no idea. Just like films which were not coming before, I don’t know the same about the ads," he added.
Latest pan masala ad controversy
His remarks have surfaced amid the ongoing scrutiny of celebrity endorsements involving pan masala-linked brands. The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration has recently issued show-cause notices to Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgn and Tiger Shroff over their appearance in a Vimal Elaichi advertisement.
But it should be noted that Sunny did not comment on the notices or name any of the actors during his podcast conversation.
