In its bid to tap the youth segment as well as food fanatics in India, Washington Apples, an American brand exporting apples worldwide, has zeroed down on Bollywood actress Disha Patani and Chef Sanjeev Kapoor as its brand ambassadors.

The American company has roped in popular faces to amplify its reach amongst the masses for the first time in 20 years of its presence in India.

“When we researched for the perfect face for Washington apples, we decided it should be someone who represents the youth of today, is a fitness icon and also someone whose words Indians can trust. What better choice than to have Disha Patani, the youth icon and Chef Sanjeev Kapoor, the most trusted voice on food in India as the Brand Ambassadors for Washington Apples”, Sumit Saran, In-Country Marketing Representative, Washington Apple Commission, said.
