"Shouldn’t An Actor Be Responsible" - Govind Namdev on Hrithik Roshan Doing Gutkha Ad

Govind Namdev on Hrithik Roshan ad

Govind Namdev has come forward to slam Bollywood actors for endorsing Pan and Gutkha ads that misdirect the youth. He believes that actors should be responsible because millions of people follow them.

In a recent interview with Bollywood Bubble, Mr. Namdev shared his sadness over Hrithik Roshan doing such ads. He said, "It is the actors’ responsibility that they show the right direction to the new generation. An actor should not do anything that shows people the wrong way. I used to really like Hrithik Roshan, I should say it, why shouldn’t I? But he is also doing gutka ad 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)? 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?" He added.
