Reacting to Maggi controversy, Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan on Wednesday said he stopped endorsing Maggi 2 years ago.
The actor, who had earlier mentioned that his contract with Nestle was over two years ago and he has not been the face of the popular snack since then, has clarified that he has not received any notice from the court as yet.
“I am yet to recieve a notive in this regard,” the actor said.
Actor Preity Zinta who had endorsed the product 12 years ago had also expressed her disbelief when she received the news that a case was filed against her.
A district court in Bihar’s Muzaffarpur directed the police on Tuesday to register an FIR against two Nestle officials and filmstars Amitabh Bachchan, Madhuri Dixit and Preity Zinta, who have featured in the Maggi advertisements and arrest them if required.
However, Bachchan has denied that he has recieved any notice in this regard.
Maggi, one of country’s most loved food brands, suffered a huge dent after a test laboratory in Gorkahpur revealed that the two-minute noodle contains lead and mono-sodium glutamate (MSG) more than the prescribed level.
