Emmy Won't Promote Condoms!

Emraan Hashmi has taken a stand. He won't endorse or do commercials for condom companies. 

Recently the actor was offered a huge sum of money to become the brand ambassador of a condom brand. As part of the contract, he would have to promote the product over two years. However, despite the money Emraan has decided not to take up the offer. 

Emraan says, "There were a lot of reasons why I said no! I don't want to endorse anything or be a part of a campaign that's overtly sexual in nature. A condom advertisement would leave a certain impact on the audience. Also it was for a long period of two years. The success of The Dirty Picture has proved that the audience is ready to accept me in a different light. Playing a prude was a risk that played off and now I want to expand my horizon and take on more interesting characters. Doing such an ad would only amplify the image I am trying to move away from." 

So no more movies with sexual themes ? "As an actor, I am open to all kinds of roles. But at this point, I want to experiment and take on roles with different shades. That's the only reason I have said no to the condom campaign."
