Shriya says no to soft drink ad

Following the footsteps of Tamil actor Ajit, Southern actress Shriya Saran too has decided not to endorse any soft drink brands. A soft drink ad fetches the actresses Rs 5-6 million, and one just has to shoot for four-five days for the commercial, while for a movie, one has to slog for months and the remuneration is not as good. However, that doesn’t impress Shriya.

“I did a soft drink ad some time back. Later, a lady came to me and said that her child started consuming more of that drink after seeing my ad. It made me measure my actions,” said Shriya, who teamed up with Tamil superstar Rajnikant in Sivaji: The Boss.

 Apart from Tamil films, Shriya also featured in Hindi movies Aawarapan and Mission Istanbul.
