Hello, my dear Bollywood enthusiasts! It’s your favorite snoop, Bollywood Newshound Nisha, bringing you the juiciest gossip from the glitzy world of Hindi cinema! Grab your popcorn, because today, we’re diving into a spicy controversy involving some of our biggest stars! 🎬✨
Breaking News: Looks like Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgn, and Tiger Shroff have found themselves in a bit of a pickle! A complaint has been filed against these tinsel town titans in Kota, Rajasthan, for their involvement in a pan masala advertisement. Our social crusader of the day, Inder Mohan Singh, claims these ads are misleading our youth. Now, who would’ve thought a pinch of pan masala could stir up such a storm? 🤔
New Delhi: Our dashing trio—Shah Rukh, Ajay, and Tiger—are in hot water over their choice to endorse a product that’s supposedly saffron-infused. The Consumer Dispute Redressal Commission has asked these stars and the company behind this aromatic offering to explain themselves by April 21. Oh, the drama! 😮
What’s the fuss all about?
Inder Mohan Singh, our vigilant social worker, is waving the red flag, claiming that the influence of these stars is leading the youth astray. He argues that when our beloved actors endorse a product, it can impact millions. Apparently, the packaging claims the presence of saffron, but the only saffron here seems to be the one in our imaginations! After all, real saffron costs a fortune—about 4 lakh rupees per kilogram! 💸
The Great Saffron Mystery!
According to Vivek Nandwana, Singh’s lawyer, the pan masala in question—Vimal Pan Masala—boasts of saffron, but it’s all smoke and mirrors, folks! With a price tag of just 5 rupees, the skepticism is real. And if you’re hoping to read the warning label, better bring a magnifying glass, because those tiny letters aren’t helping anyone! 🔍
- The product’s low price has everyone doubting its saffron claims.
- The warning label is practically invisible to the naked eye.
- Singh demands an immediate stop to these misleading ads and a hefty fine for both the company and the stars if found guilty.
Punishment Fit for a Star?
The petition also suggests that any fines should go to the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports’ Youth Welfare Fund. Talk about a twist of fate—our stars might end up funding youth activities instead of inspiring questionable indulgences! 😅
The consumer court has summoned Shah Rukh, Ajay, Tiger, and the pan masala company to appear on February 21, 2025. Get ready for a courtroom drama, folks! 🎭
Not Their First Rodeo!
This isn’t the first time our Bollywood biggies have been caught in the crossfire of controversy over ads for questionable products. Remember the hullabaloo over the Vimal Elaichi ad featuring Ajay, Shah Rukh, and Akshay Kumar? While Akshay distanced himself after the backlash, Ajay and Shah Rukh stuck with it. Now, Tiger’s joined the party! 🥳
Nisha’s Nutshell: In Bollywood, the line between reel and real is as thin as a pan masala’s paper wrapper. Our stars remind us that sometimes, it’s not just their acting that’s questionable. Moral of the story? In the world of glitz and glamour, always read the fine print—or at least try to! 🤷♀️
