The Chief Minister of Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal has written a letter to top Bollywood celebs like Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgn, Saif Ali Khan, Govinda and Arbaaz Khan requesting them to stop endorsing tobacco products which causes oral cancer.
The Delhi CM has also appealed these B-Town celebs to join the ‘Anti Tobacco Campaign’, which hopefully may help people in quitting tobacco, resulting in reduction of deaths due to oral cancer.
Dr. S.K. Arora, the additional director of government added in the letter that Bollywood celebs are seen endorsing pan masala and related products many times on television and other media. Even if these products are nicotine free, it still contains betel nut and there is no scientific research which has proved that betel nut doesn’t cause cancer.
Let’s see what kind of response, the CM of Delhi will get from these Bollywood celebs.
