The Food and Drug Administration has sent notices to Bollywood stars Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgn and Tiger Shroff for allegedly violating advertising guidelines in a pan masala commercial.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued notices to Bollywood actors Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgn and Tiger Shroff over a pan masala advertisement that allegedly breached advertising rules.
The notices state that the commercial promoted a pan masala brand, which is prohibited under the Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products Act.
This marks the first regulatory action against the trio for a tobacco‑related endorsement, despite their history of product promotions.
The FDA’s move is part of a broader crackdown on tobacco advertising, and the notices could lead to fines or other penalties.
