New brand ambassador

Actor-cum-business woman Shilp Shetty, along with her husband, was chosen a brand ambassdor for Yakult Danone India, a joint venture of Yakult Honsha, Japan and Groupe Danone, France in the Capital. The celebrity couple also launched the probiotics drink, and talked about its various health benefits of the drink. Excited about associating with Yakult, Shilpa Shetty remarked, "I was overawed by the scientific revelation about probiotics and intrigued to know that a healthy intestine is the key to good health not only because it is responsible for absorption of nutrients but also for the fact that more than 70 per cent of the immune cells are found there." During the launch the actor informed that she is very careful about her association with brands and, therefore, she visited the Yakult factory first before giving her nod.
