"Pains to see my images being used to mislead people"- Sachin Tendulkar slams a casino for using his 'morphed images'

Sachin Tendulkar has expressed disappointment over his morphed images being used to endorse a casino on social media platforms. The legendary batter strongly refuted any involvement in casino, alcohol or tobacco-related advertisements.

Tendulkar assured his legal team would initiate the necessary action against the culprits. He then urged his followers and fans to stay alert and not be deceived by such advertisements. Taking to his official Twitter handle, Sachin Tendulkar clarified the issue and wrote:

"Requesting everyone to remain vigilant about misleading images on social media.

"It has come to my notice that there are multiple ads being shown on social media platforms, with a morphed photo showing me endorsing a casino. I have never endorsed gambling, tobacco or alcohol - directly or indirectly, in an individual capacity. It pains to see that my images are being used to mislead people. While my legal team will be taking the required action, I felt it was important for me to share this information with everyone."
