Kartik Aaryan chose to promote condom brand over paan masala ad, reveals Vidya Balan

As someone who has followed Kartik Aaryan’s career from the beginning, I must say that his recent decision to turn down a pan masala brand endorsement and instead opt for a condom ad is truly commendable. His commitment to values and health-conscious choices is evident in every project he takes on, and it’s refreshing to see an actor who stands firm in his beliefs.


Kartik Aaryan is known for being an honest and responsible actor, carefully selecting roles that align with his values. Whether it’s film events or brand endorsements, he makes thoughtful decisions. In a recent conversation, Kartik admitted to turning down a lucrative offer for a tempting pan masala brand advertisement. Interestingly, Vidya Balan disclosed during the same chat that Kartik opted to do a condom ad instead.

Celebrities promoting pan masala brands have become a big debate among fans. In a candid interview with Siddharth Kannan on his YouTube channel, the actor was asked about the reason for his anti-paan masala stand. In his reply, Kartik explained, “I have refused paan masala ads. They tempted me with many things, but I was never tempted to do that at all.”

When Aaryan shared his viewpoint, Vidya Balan, his fellow actor, joined in and disclosed that Aaryan would opt for appearing in a condom advertisement instead. This comment made him laugh. She jokingly added that the star of Luka Chuppi had chosen to endorse a health product, which was a wiser choice.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I found myself chuckling uncontrollably and exclaimed, “Someone, please intervene!” However, in all sincerity, I firmly believe in prioritizing safety above all else.

In a recent interview with The Lallantop, the actor stated that he doesn’t identify with certain products and won’t endorse them in advertisements. He explained, “I don’t feel connected to those items, and I make an effort to avoid promoting them. I can’t judge whether it’s right or wrong, as everyone has their unique perspective. However, such opportunities do not align with my personal goals.

A few days back, TopMob announced that Anil Kapoor had been presented with an attractive pan masala endorsement offer worth INR 10 crores. However, he politely turned it down due to a sense of responsibility he feels towards his fans and the public’s health in general.

Earlier, Akshay Kumar found himself in hot water over endorsing a pan masala brand and received negative feedback from his fans. Since then, he has chosen not to continue with such endorsements. However, other actors like Ajay Devgn, Tiger Shroff, and Shah Rukh Khan have faced criticism for doing the same.
