"The selection of actress Tamannaah Bhatia as the brand ambassador for Mysore Sandal Soap is justified. Mysore Sandal Soap sells more outside Karnataka than within the state as it has a massive market in North India. Since the faces of Kannada actors and actresses are not as widely recognized in other states this decision is practical. There should be no politics in this matter. #TamannaahBhatia #MysuruSandalSoap https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2021209859631480876 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2021209859631480876"
