Actor Akshay Kumar apologized to fans and supporters after people on social networks worried him about his show in a commercial on Vimal Elaichi.

Many pointed out that the ad looked like an actor promoting a tobacco product. From happy to sad, the sounds are different. Most Twitter users say that Akshay Kumar, known for his strength, supports a product owned by the gutka brand.

"I'm sorry," the actor tweeted.
"I would like to apologise to you, all my fans and well-wishers. Your reaction over the past few days has deeply affected me. While I have not and will not endorse tobacco, I respect the outpouring of your feelings in light of my association with Vimal Elaichi. With all humility, I step back," Akshay Kumar tweeted.
"I have decided to contribute the entire endorsement fee towards a worthy cause. The brand might continue airing the ads till the legal duration of the contract that is binding upon me, but I promise to be extremely mindful in making my future choices. In return, I shall forever continue to ask for your love and wishes," he said.

However, the actor did not mention how long the contract for Vimal Elaichi's advertisement will be.

Some social media users posted an older video by Akshay Kumar, which told how he did not create a gutka ad. In the clip, he said that although he had been offered many such advertisements, he would not have shown them because he believed in the concept of "healthy India".
