'I’m an actor, I earn from it': Ajay on elaichi row, SRK on controversial ads
Ajay Devgn and Shah Rukh Khan have reignited the debate over celebrity endorsements for controversial products, with the Maharashtra FDA taking action against the two actors and Tiger Shroff for an Elaichi advertisement. In a previous interview, Devgn had defended his involvement, stating that it was a personal choice and that he would not promote such products.
This aligns with Shah Rukh Khan's sentiments, who has previously advocated for banning products he considers harmful, including cigarettes and soft drinks. The FDA has issued notices to the three actors and Tiger Shroff, citing concerns that the advertisement could function as surrogate promotion for a banned pan masala brand. The regulatory body's scrutiny is focused on gutka and pan masala products containing tobacco or nicotine.
Shah Rukh Khan is set to appear in the film "King," while Ajay Devgn will be seen in "Chauhan" and "Drishyam 3."
