The debate over fairness creams and adverts encouraging one skin colour over another has now got a Sushant Singh Rajput angle to it. The 31-year-old actor reportedly turned down a Rs. 15 crore offer to be the face of a fairness product . "Sushant doesn't believe in endorsing such products. So despite it being a lucrative offer, he immediately turned it down," mid-day quoted a source as saying. The proposed endorsement reportedly required Sushant to feature in six advertisements over three years but, it's a 'no' from the actor's end. "He feels that he needs to be responsible about the kind of products he lends his face to, as several people look up to him," the source added.
Explaining his decision, Sushant told mid-day that he is against the idea of promoting fairness creams because: "As responsible actors, it is our duty to not indulge in sending out incorrect messages. We should not, in any way, endorse or promote the ideology of preferring one skin tone over another." Here are some other celebs who have said no in promoting any products related to racism or skin discrimination. Let's have a look on these celebs.
