Amid the ongoing discussion around Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgn and Tiger Shroff's association with pan masala advertisements, Sunny Deol has spoken about his approach to brand endorsements.

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.
