The world of glamour is incomplete without publicity and hype. And what better way to showcase a celeb than making him/her the ambassador of a brand? Let's take a look at the 10 big Bollywood celebs who have been signed by brands recently.

1. Nargis Fakhri - Reebok India

The actress is back with a bang. With 'Madras Café' coming up, she has now been signed on by Reebok India to be the brand ambassador of its women's category 'Studio' whose products are focused on dance, aerobics and yoga. Nargis Fakhri already has done some major endorsements like Van Heusen, Tata Motors and Parachute.

2. Salman Khan - Splash

Middle East's largest fashion retailer, Splash signed on Salman Khanrecently to be its brand ambassador as it completes 20 years. Salman Khan has been promoting brands even before he became famous as an actor - and after he did, he has had an unending list of endorsements like Sangini Jewelry and Yatra.com.

3. Priyanka Chopra - Our Girls Our Pride

A campaign to create awareness about issues like female nutrition and female feticide, Our Girls Our Pride recently signed in Priyanka Chopra as their brand ambassador. Interestingly, the campaign had first approached Aishwarya Rai - but when she turned down the offer, it came to Priyanka Chopra. For someone rolling in the dough with film offers, a music career and enough endorsements - it was really cool of the 'Exotic' singer to take it up.

4. Saif Ali Khan - Siyaram Silk Mills

Early this month, Siyaram roped in Saif Ali Khan as the ambassador for its Oxemberg brand. The actor is a favorite when it comes to fashion clothing, he has already been brand ambassador for OCM and Provogue. The actor has now joined Hrithik Roshan and MS Dhoni - who are also ambassadors for Siyaram's various brands.

5. Aishwarya Rai - Lodha's 'The Park'

Realty firm Lodha is developing a Rs. 5,000 crore residential and commercial real estate in Worli, Mumbai. And who should be roped in as brand ambassador for this grandiose master-plan district 'The Park' but Aishwarya Rai. At the launch of the real estate's launch, Aishwarya recently wowed the shutterbugs with her ruffled black gown. The actress has a host of endorsements - L'Oreal, Longines and Lux being only some of them.

6. Shah Rukh Khan - TAG Heuer

Although SRK's association with the watch giant TAG Heuer is not new, it is definitely the most reputed one - where he shares the platform with Cameron Diaz, Leonardo DiCaprio and Maria Sharapova. TAG Heuer recently celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Carrera, one of its more famous watches, and SRK was there to cheer them on.

7. Kareena Kapoor - Malabar Gold

Last April, Kareena Kapoor signed on to be Malabar GOLD'S brand ambassador - thus extending her jewelry endorsements from Sangini and Geetanjali's Parineeta Wedding Collection. Needless to say, she is one of the best faces of Bollywood to endorse high-end jewelry - and so much more like electronics and beauty products!

8. Dhanush - Center Fresh

With Dhanush, we are probably seeing a star in the making. The actor who went from 'Kolaveri Di' to 'Raanjhanaa' is now soon going to be many brands' favorite poster boy. Perfetti called dibs on him when they signed him on to be the brand ambassador for Center Fresh chewing gum. In its own cheesy way, Dhanush 'is' fresh and the centre of attention everywhere now.

9. Deepika Padukone - SKYi Group

If you didn't already know the latest trend, real estate companies are now signing big stars as their brand ambassadors. First Aishwarya, and now Deepika Padukone. The 'Cocktail' actress is in no dearth of endorsement deals - and she chose to sign one with Pune-based real estate firm SKYi Group. If you are still skeptical, let us tell you that Sachin Tendulkar himself is brand ambassador of another group called Amit Enterprises.

10. Ranbir Kapoor - Barcelona FC

We know this is old news, but we think it is really cool to have chocolate boy Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor as the brand ambassador of the Spanish football club. It was two years ago that Ranbir was named by Barcelona FC as their non-commercial Indian brand ambassador. We can get MS Dhoni promoting the English Premier League - but Ranbir doing so for Barcelona is just too cool!
Haters gonna hate - but promoting a brand with Bollywood ambassadors will never get old. These brands know that
