The Hindu reports:
The two Khans and the junior Bachchan, son of Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan, have been joined by two international sportstars Maria Sharapova and David Beckham, four singers Usher, Fergie, Rain and Andy Lau and race car driver Danica Patrick in the 'Ten Celebs and Their Cells' list published on the Forbes website.
"Once upon a time, perfume and designer jean makers were the ones who relied on celebrities to add a bit of star-dust glamour to their products. Add to that list, now, mobile phone makers," the report said.
Another major Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan endorses Sony Ericsson but he could not make it to the top ten list. Instead, it was Maria Sharapova, the Russian tennis player, who also endorses Sony Ericsson, was included in the list. Sharapova was followed by David Beckham who is the brand ambassador of Motorola RAZR2 phone.
Only few years ago, the cola giants like Coca-Cola, and Pepsi used big stars to endorse their products. Now, time has changed and mobile phone emerged as the new endorsing champion.
