The promotions for Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna’s ‘Cocktail 2’ are going on in full swing. From press events to music fests, the team is leaving no stone unturned. As part of their on-ground promotions, the trio Shahid, Kriti, and Rashmika reached Pune and sat for a special Vada Pao treat. The videos and pictures of the same are going viral on social media. While many are finding it cute to see the stars posing with the local delicacies, several others have called them out on hypocrisy. Since the stars were hesitant to eat Vada Pao, internet users pointed out that when it comes to their own bodies, they stay away from unhealthy food, but draw no line while promoting sugary drinks.
Netizens call out Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna on double standards
So all this began as the trio sat down for promotions in Pune, and in front of them was served the local delicacy, Vada Pao. Initially, they posed with the food in their hands, gave playful poses with the chilli, but when it came to taking a bite, the case was hesitant. While Kriti was heard saying she cannot take a big bite right in front of all the cameras as it’s messy, Shahid Kapoor was completely in no mood to eat. Later, on the paps’ consistent request, the three were seen taking a bite. However, there was a catch. While Kriti and Rashmika did take a tiny bite, Shahid pretended to eat. He showed as if he took a bite, and was even seen fake chewing. But then Kriti, in a playful gesture, showed the camera that the vada pao was untouched.Reacting to the whole video, netizens pointed out the hypocrisy of stars. They mentioned that the actors have no problem promoting unhealthy food or sugary drinks, but when it comes to their health, they draw a line.One internet user wrote, “Dekh lo inki reality khud kuch nhi khate or logo ko pata nhi kya kya bechne ka add karte hai (Look at their reality, they don’t eat anything but can do ads to sell anything.)”Another commented, “Abe wo kharab chizen nahi khate hai pesa de do fir sab kha lenge (They don’t eat bad things, pay them, and they will have anything.)“Ban them to promote sugarry drinks & unhealthy foods,” wrote another internet user. “He was giving a lecture abt not being fake, not showing something else pretending to be someone else and blah blah blah this is his true face,” read another comment, as the video went viral. Several other comments simply said that the actors were overacting and that one vada pao would have done no harm.
