“They Should Be Rebuked,” Says Mukesh Khanna
During an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Mukesh Khanna did not hold back his disappointment regarding the choices of these stars. He stated, “If you ask me, I’d say they should be scolded. I’ve already told them this. I even scolded Akshay Kumar, who is known to be very health-conscious. Ajay Devgn greets with respect, and now Shah Rukh Khan is also following the same path. These ads cost crores of rupees, but what message are you sending to the public? They claim they are not selling pan masala, but betel nut. However, they know exactly what they are doing.”

Everyone knows this; it’s called misleading advertising. Why do they do these ads? Don’t they have enough money? I told them to stop doing this because they already have plenty of money.”
He added, “Some actors agreed with me, and Akshay Kumar is one of them. If I’m not mistaken, even Amitabh Bachchan distanced himself from these endorsements. But, to date, crores of rupees have been spent on these ads. People are throwing colors on each other and chanting ‘Kesariyaa Zubaan.’ You’re teaching people to chew gutkha! Don’t do this!”
