Money comes first for Abhishek Bachchan….
Everyone knows that Amitabh Bachchan and Anil Ambani share a good rapport with each other rather like families to each other. In addition to this, it’s a known fact that Ambani family loves Abhishek Bachchan. Last year, we had heard him saying in an interview, “Anil uncle and Tina aunty are like my family. I’m always there for them’. But what happened to him then when he refused Ambani’s offer to do an ad for Reliance Mobile and went for Birla group’s Idea ad? The obvious reason comes to mind that it’s money that comes first for the actor. Relationships come after that.
It was undoubtedly shocking news for the advertising circles and everyone associated with the entertainment industry when Abhishek chose to endorse Aditya Birla Group’s Idea Cellular instead of Anil Ambani’s Reliance Mobile.
Both the groups wanted to rope Abhishek in their endorsements, however the actor signed the deal with Birla’s Idea. Why? Do you know it? Well, it’s ofcourse for the money because they were offering more than Anil’s Reliance. Birla Group gave him Rs. 15 crores for being the brand ambassador of their product. And Abhi happily signed the deal with them.
When asked Abhi about it, he simply refused to comment on it.
To maintain the good relationship with Ambanis, Abhi then did the commercial for their BIG 92.7 FM. A little birdie also told us that Amitabh too share a superb rapport with Kumar Mangalam Birla so there was no way to refuse their Idea ad.
Well, what can we say on this? Abhi is an intelligent man.
