‘Won't do any fairness ad again’
Actress Sonali Bendre, who has in the past endorsed a fairness cream, is now not willing to be a brand ambassador of any such products which promote bias on skin tone. At an event, Sonali was asked to comment on the incident involving Parched actress Tannishtha Chatterjee's complaint about being ‘roasted’ for her skin tone on a TV comedy show. Sonali said: “I think making jokes about somebody's skin tone is absolutely wrong. However, I am glad that everybody is becoming conscious of these things. So am I. I have done a couple of fairness ads in the beginning of my career. Having said that, today if I am offered, I won't do any fairness ad again.”
The actress earlier endorsed Emami Naturally Fair. But she says, “I was young and needed money, so I didn't really think about it.”

Humans are selfish: Hanks
Tom Hanks says humans are selfish and follow their own will.
Do you believe that there are organisations that are controlling the destiny of mankindIJ
“I don't think there's anybody who's hatching plots to get us, beyond the press of course,” Hanks said. Adding to it, he said, “I think at the end of the day, in my mind, the concept of conspiracy theories falls apart because nothing trumps human behaviour and humans are selfish and self-motivated and will follow their own will.”
