Salman reacts on Pan Masala ad row. It is known that Bollywood stars landed in trouble for promoting Pan Masala ads and Consumer Court sent notices for them.
Replying to the Kota Consumer Court, Salman Khan shared his version on endorsing Pan Masala ad. He said he wasn't endorsing gutka or pan masala but only cardamom. The Kota Consumer Court sent notices reacting to the complaint filed by Pradeep Instructor Singh Hani.
Representing Salman Khan, advocate Ashish Dubey informed the court that the Consumer Commission lacks the jurisdiction to address the complaint. He clarified that the actor is neither a manufacturer nor a service provider for pan masala, arguing that involving him in the case is legally unjustified. The court posted the case for next hearing on 9 December 2025.
The petitioner earlier said “Salman Khan is a role model for many people. We have filed a complaint against it in the Kota Consumer Court, and notices have been issued for a hearing. Celebrities or film stars in other countries don't even promote cold drinks, but they are promoting tobacco and pan masala. I urge them not to spread the wrong message to the youth, as pan masala is one of the leading causes of mouth cancer.”
