Virat Kohli, Anushka Sharma were rejected as brand ambassadors: Here's why
Ashneer Grover says he rejected Virat Kohli as brand ambassador
Indian entrepreneur Ashneer Grover revealed that he once rejected Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma as Brand Ambassadors, reports News18.
In his latest interview, Ashneer said that he wanted his brand’s Ad to be printed on the backside of the player’s jersey’s and the broker suggested him consider Virat for the advertising of the brand.
The entrepreneur added: "Kohli asked for an amount, which I won’t reveal here, he’ll take offence. They also offered Anushka as a package deal, and I said I don’t want to repeat what Manyavar had already done. So, I asked if they could get me 11 other players for half of what Kohli was demanding. And that’s the deal I finally struck."
He further went on to say: "I don’t have a single photo with any of them, I didn’t go for the shoots even. I just have one photo of me talking to Kohli recently. And I was telling him about this story. He said it was very good business."
