Here's what Bollywood stars should endorse

Last updated on: July 15, 2014 15:19 IST
Himesh Reshammiya

Because some of these stars could really do with some suggestions. 

Not that tinsel town's high and mighty need tips from us ordinary folks when it comes to choosing who and/or what they endorse, considering they have nothing short of mini armies to take care of it, the choice of products they appear in commercials for are sometimes exceedingly unimaginative.

Like Sajid Khan's movies.

So we thought, wouldn't it be fun to suggest some novel ideas for our stars?

On that note, here we go!

Himesh Reshammiya

Given the fact that his entire singing career rode high and for far too long on his nasal talents, it'd only make sense if the Xpose star took good care of his precious nose.

Nasal drops would be the best bet for this actor-musician-producer, wouldn't they?

Shatrughan Sinha -- Silencers

Shatrughan Sinha

Because, you know, as cinema legend goes...

Khamosh!

Sunny Deol -- Gym equipment

Sunny Deol

With the desi He-man all set for Ghayal Returns, wouldn't it be perfectly well-timed if Sunny paaji put his formidable dhai kilo ka haath to make some money on the side?

Ranveer Singh -- Energy drinks

Ranveer Singh

This exceedingly boisterous boy must have even people his own age short of breath with those generous bursts of restlessness. 

Think you need more than wings from an energy drink? Ranveer will be the best person to guide you in the right drink's direction.

Priyanka Chopra -- Autotune

Priyanka Chopra

Not sure if it's just her fans mindlessly fawning over her singing abilities or PeeCee REALLY knows her autotune.

If she's so good at faking it, she'd be even better at selling the stuff, we think.

Abbas-Mustan -- Fabric whiteners

Abbas-Mustan

The fate of their expensive and famously snazzy thrillers notwithstanding, this director duo's all-white attire has been an unmistakable identifier for as long as one can remember.

We dare you to bring a better contender for the endorser's job here.

Emraan Hashmi -- Mouth freshener

Emraan Hashmi

Unless one is dating a slob of a girl or a junkie, grooming and personal hygiene goes a long way in the game of love.

And considering the army of girls this serial kisser has locked lips with onscreen, it'd be borderline criminal to not sign him on for this job.

Alia Bhatt -- Chapstick

Alia Bhatt

Alia Bhatt is clocking in box office hits at an amazing rate.

Well, hits and onscreen lip locks.

Now whether it's purely coincidental or to carry forward the family trend -- Hashmi is a cousin -- is unknown but we're sure she'd do a convincing job of selling the hell out of chapstick!

Anil Kapoor -- Hair removal cremes

Anil Kapoor in Welcome

Did you see this veteran actor recently?

Could you tell/imagine he was a giant ball of body hair in his younger days?

No?

We rest our case.
