Pierce Brosnan Shocked and Saddened. Find out why?
Pierce Brosnan endorsing Pan Bahar had triggered both amusement and outrage among Indian Audience last week. Now, the bond said that he was “Shocked and saddened” by the unauthorized use of his image to promote a product that could be dangerous to health.
The actor gave a statement to the People Magazine, in which he said, his contract was to endorse, “a product that was all natural containing neither tobacco nor any other harmful ingredient”.
Pan Masalas mostly contain the harmful ingredient that causes cancer and the government rules, they are expected to carry statutory warnings.
Having lost his wife and daughter to cancer, Brosnan said, he was committed to supporting programs that improve health.
The endorsement evoked outrage over twitter like these:
“I believe you hold the famous ‘License To Kill’ in your possession, Mr. Bond?”
*takes out Pan Bahar from his pocket*
*130,000 people die*

Pierce Brosnan thought he was endorsing a, “tooth whitener.”
Pan Bahar does whiten your teeth.
They fall out.
Then you get brand new ones.— Sorabh Pant (@hankypanty) October 21, 2016
So Pierce Brosnan thought Pan Bahaar was a tooth whitener.
Even we thought Britishers were smart.
Now we are even.
