Ajay Devgan and Tiger Shroff have sent their reply to Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the Pan Masala ad case. At the same time, no response has been received from Shahrukh Khan’s side yet. A notice was issued to the three actors on August 14 and they were ordered to reply within 15 days. On August 11, Maharashtra FDA had sent a notice to Shahrukh Khan, Ajay Devgan and Tiger Shroff in the matter of advertising ‘Chewing Cardamom’ brand. The notice stated that action would be taken if no response was received within 15 days. According to the report of ‘CNN-News18’, the regulator has received the replies of Ajay Devgan and Tiger Shroff. Shahrukh Khan’s reply has not been received yet and FDA is waiting for his reply. The regulator has raised questions whether this advertisement could amount to a surrogate promotion of Vimal Pan Masala. There is a ban on promotion of Pan Masala in Maharashtra. The FDA says that even though the advertisement is for a cardamom product, its branding may create an indirect connection to the pan masala brand. Evidence was sought from all three actors. FDA had sought evidence from Ajay Devgan, Shahrukh Khan and Tiger Shroff that the advertisement of Vimal Cardamom which they have done is a completely different product. Along with this, he was also asked to prove that this advertisement is not a surrogate advertisement made for the promotion of banned Vimal Pan Masala and other tobacco products. If Shahrukh does not reply, fine will be imposed. After getting the reply of Ajay Devgan and Tiger Shroff, now FDA is waiting for the reply of Shahrukh Khan. It is not yet clear what action the FDA will take if no response is received from Shahrukh. According to the information, in case of non-response within the deadline, a fine of lakhs of rupees can be imposed or legal action can be taken. Old statements of celebs on Pan Masala ad controversy: There has been a controversy over Pan Masala ad for a long time. However, the actors say that there should be a ban on sales and not on advertising. Shahrukh Khan and Ajay Devgan have already said that if a product is harmful for health, then the government should ban its manufacture and sale. In an old interview given to CNN-IBN, Shahrukh Khan was asked that the Health Minister has appealed to the celebrities not to advertise products like soft drinks, because children start drinking them after seeing them. On this, Shahrukh had said that if cigarettes or soft drinks are bad, then the government should stop their sale and production in the country. The government gets revenue, then why stop my earnings – Shahrukh Shahrukh Khan had argued in his reply that the government does not stop such products because they are a source of revenue for the government. Shahrukh had said that when the government is not stopping production for its revenue, then his earnings should also not be stopped. He said that he is an actor and earning money by working is his profession. If something is really wrong, then its making should stop. Ajay Devgan said – I only promote cardamom. Even in the year 2022, when the controversy over such advertisements had increased, actor Ajay Devgan had presented his side. Ajay had said that he only advertises ‘Elaichi’ and denied the allegations of surrogate advertising. He had said that using a product depends on the personal preference of the person. Ajay also agreed with Shahrukh Khan and said that if a product is harmful, then first of all its manufacturing should be banned. Controversy also arose over these ads of celebs – Kriti Sanon Rakshabandhan Ad Controversy: Actress Kriti Sanon was recently seen in the jewelery brand of jewelery brand Jiva. Kriti wore revealing clothes while tying Rakhi to her brother and dog in the ad, which led to controversy. The brand removed the ad amid criticism. Aamir Khan Housewarming Ad Controversy: A few years ago, Aamir Khan was seen in a private bank ad with Kiara Advani. In this, Aamir is seen entering his in-laws house as a son-in-law, unlike the bride entering her house after marriage. Hindu-Muslim controversy over Tanishq ad: Tata Group’s famous jewelery brand Tanishq had released an ad based on inter-religion marriage a few years ago. The advertisement shows the marriage of a Hindu girl with a Muslim boy. There was a huge controversy over the ad, after which Tanishq removed the video from the YouTube channel.
