Concern over Aishwarya film poster

November 17, 2010 02:15 am | Updated 02:15 am IST - PANAJI:

National Organisation for Tobacco Eradication (NOTE) India, the body working for tobacco eradication, on Tuesday wrote to actor Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan expressing concern over use of her images smoking a cigarette in the banners of film Guzaarish displayed all over Mumbai.

Shekhar Salkar, honorary secretary of NOTE told The Hindu here that in the past they had knocked on every door to prevent the clandestine promotion of tobacco using actors. This, he said, contravened the provisions of the Central anti-tobacco legislation. He said he would issue a legal notice to the actor under the provisions of the anti-tobacco legislation for the alleged advertisement of tobacco smoking in the public.
