The rivalry between Coca cola and Pepsi is not only limited to the sales of soft drinks but also in bagging celebrities. In India, it has become a trend that big film stars and players are either signed up with Coca cola or Pepsi.
I could not find any article or any website that gives all the names of celebrities endorsing either Coca cola or Pepsi in India. However, I found some websites that contains videos of Pepsi and Coca cola ads. From there and some recent and old news reports, I have made a list of Indian players and actors and actresses, who promoted Coca cola and Pepsi. If you think I have missed out some one or have any new information, please, feel free to write about it.

In the Philippines, Coca-cola have won. There's less TV appearance from Pepsi and their endorsers are usually Taiwanese superstars. It seems Coca-cola is more willing to dish out more money for publicity in this part of the world.
