Govind Namdev slams Hrithik Roshan and other actors for pan masala, gambling ads: "When an actor does an ad, they are praising it”

Veteran actor Govind Namdev has spoken out against celebrities endorsing pan masala and gambling products. In a recent interview with Bollywood Bubble, he urged actors to be mindful of their influence on fans, especially younger generations.

Namdev spoke about the importance of actors setting a positive example. "It is the actors’ responsibility that they show the right direction to the new generation," he stated. "An actor should not do anything that shows people the wrong way." Govind Namdev Expresses His Disappointment with Hrithik Roshan He expressed his personal disappointment with Hrithik Roshan's decision to endorse such products. "I used to really like Hrithik Roshan," Namdev admitted. "But he is also doing guthka [chewing tobacco] ads and also an ad to lure people into gambling, why? I used to like him a lot but when I saw him do all this, I was like, 'kar kya rahe hai yeh (what is he doing)?'"

Namdev elaborated on the negative influence such endorsements can have. "You are teaching newcomers and youngsters to gamble. When an actor does an ad, they are praising it, isn't it? It inspires people, 'you do it!' You are teaching them to gamble? You are teaching them to consume tobacco? Shouldn't an actor be responsible, that they don't misdirect the people?" Govind Namdev ADMITS He Regrets Doing Pan Masala Ad The veteran actor reflected on his own experience endorsing a pan-masala brand early in his career. "I was offered, and till date I regret doing that one bad deed," he confessed. "I had done an ad for Goa Pan Masala, almost 20 years ago... When I got that offer back then, I did not have that much awareness on what are the actors' responsibilities. I was new and I did it. After doing it, I realised that if there was something I would call the worst thing of my career, it would be that ad. I still regret it."
