Bollywood
actor
Ajay
Devgn
has
often
been
slammed
for
promoting
a
tobacco
brand
and
trolled
time
and
again
for
the
same.
Now,
a
40
year-old-cancer
patient
named
Nanakram
who
also
happens
to
be
the
superstar's
fan,
has
made
a
public
appeal
to
him
to
stop
promoting
tobacco
products
in
the
interest
of
the
society.
As
per
a
PTI
report,
the
patient's
family
said
that
he
was
a
fan
of
Ajay
Devgn
and
used
the
same
product
which
the
actor
advertises
for
but
now
he
realises
that
tobacco
has
had
an
adverse
effect
on
his
life.
Nearly
1000
pamphlets
addressed
to
Mr
Devgn,
in
which
Nanakram
asks
the
actor
about
how
much
he
or
his
family
chew
tobacco,
have
been
circulated
and
pasted
on
the
walls
in
Sanganer,
Jagatpura
and
nearby
areas
of
the
city.
Dinesh
Meena,
the
patient's
son
told
PTI,
"My
father
Nanakram
Meena
started
chewing
tobacco
a
few
years
ago
and
was
using
the
same
brand
for
which
Devgn
does
the
advertisement.
My
father
was
impressed
by
Devgn
but
when
he
was
diagnosed
with
cancer,
he
felt
that
such
a
big
star
should
not
advertise
for
these
kind
of
products."
In
the
pamphlet,
Nanakram
said
that
advertisements
of
things
like
liquor,
cigarette
and
tobacco
were
harmful
and
that
actors
should
not
promote
these
things.
A
father
of
two
children,
Nanakram,
who
used
to
run
a
tea-stall
earlier,
cannot
speak
and
runs
the
family
by
selling
milk
at
home
in
Sanganer
town
of
Jaipur.
On
the
work
front,
Ajay
Devgn
will
be
next
seen
in
Akiv
Ali's
De
De
Pyaar
De
co-starring
Tabu
and
Rakul
Preet
Singh.
He
will
also
be
seen
in
SS
Rajamouli's
RRR,
Taanaji:
The
Unsung
Warrior,
a
biopic
on
football
coach
Syed
Abdul
Rahim,
Bhuj:
The
Pride
Of
India
and
Luv
Ranjan's
next
with
Ranbir
Kapoor.
