Big B stops endorsing Pepsi; causes embarrassment
Amitabh Bachchan has apparently caused embarrassment for Pepsi India after deciding to stop being brand ambassador of the popular drink brand following being publicly questioned by a school girl about his association.
It is thought that, during a public function in Jaipur, a girl questioned why he is seen to be endorsing a product which her teacher says is harmful. According to the Financial Times, Bachchan said, ���I just felt if this is an impression that we create in the mind of a possible buyer, I must not be doing it. And I stopped endorsing Pepsi�.
An email statement by Pepsi is believed to have read, ���Amitabh Bachchan is a living legend and it is only natural for employees of any organisation to look up to the brand ambassadors. Pepsi is loved by millions of Indian consumers�.
No further questions were answered by the brand about the unfortunate development but it has definitely been an unpleasant experience for them.
