MUMBAI: In his career spanning almost three decades in Bollywood, Anil Kapoor has clearly avoided endorsing any products. His idea was to be recognised for his acting talent rather than be clubbed with some brand as its ambassador. The actor seems to have made an exception now as he is now doing a television commercial with his daughter, actor Sonam Kapoor. “I was a pure actor for 30 years and now my children have corrupted me,” he said in a lighter vein.

Kapoor finally made his debut as brand ambassador for an international label of writing instruments. It was daughter Sonam who also features in the advertisement who managed to convince her father to take a break from films and finally do a TV commercial. But Anil is candid to admit that this really isn’t his first stint for a commercial. He had done a Brooke Bond ad more than 30 years back.
