Akshay Kumar is seen laughing at a journalist’s question related to the “Vimal” campaign, drawing attention while controversy circulates around a kesar-themed advertisement. In coverage of the exchange, Akshay’s remarks are presented as light and humorous, even as the brand and ad content remain under public scrutiny.
Multiple outlets connect the moment to Akshay Kumar’s earlier association with Vimal. They report that he had previously appeared in the Vimal campaign but later stopped working with the brand after criticism. The current reporting frames his resurfaced comments as a return to a topic tied to earlier public debate, rather than a new endorsement.
Overall, the sources focus on the same incident—the journalist’s “kesar”/Vimal prompt and Akshay’s reaction—while differing mainly in how they characterize the controversy and what they emphasize as background. Both accounts, however, agree on his prior involvement and later exit from the campaign.
