Genelia DāSouza has been crowned as the Brand Ambassador of the Year by CNBC AWAAZ Consumer Awards. Last year Shah Rukh Khan had won the title.
The actress currently endorses nine brands including Cadburyās Perk, Fanta, Spinz, Dabur Vatika, LG Cookie, Virgin, Margo, Garnier and Fasttrack.
“It is an honour that CNBC AWAAZ and the Indian consumers have chosen to bestow this award on me and I couldnāt be happier. Stalwarts like Shah Rukh and Akshay Kumar have been awarded this prestigious title in the past and Iām only glad that people think Iām worthy of the same,” Genelia said.
“This award symbolises a bridge between the consumer and the brand and I consider it a huge responsibility. I hope I continue to do even better in the future and Iām sure I will as I have a very strong team with me that helps me build, grow and sustain. My success is as much theirs as it is mine,” she added.
The award was announced late on June 28.
