"I will never endorse a cigarette brand because that's something very bad for health. Also I will never endorse Fair & Lovely because it makes the generation believe that you are nice and successful only if you are fair.
"This is a very demeaning thing and I would never want to be a part of something like that, " Abhay told reporters here.
However, the actor feels that there is nothing wrong in endorsing a liquor brand.
"I have no problems in endorsing a liquor brand because there is nothing inherently wrong with it. Even the doctor says that if you have a drink sometimes, it doesn't do anything to your body, " he said.
"If people don't abuse it and drink responsibly, there is nothing wrong with it, " he added.
Abhay was present at the event as the brand ambassador of Indian menswear brand Indian Terrain.
Asked about his style statement, the actor said: "In person, I don't experiment a lot with my look. I like it subtle and simple. I'm a casual person and I like wearing jeans and t-shirt the most."
