Salman Khan Lands in Legal Trouble – Full Detail
Overview
Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has landed in legal trouble after a complaint was filed in the Kota Consumer Court, Rajasthan, over his endorsement of a pan masala brand.
The complaint was lodged by Inder Mohan Singh Honey, a senior BJP leader and advocate, alleging that Salman Khan and the brand made misleading claims in their advertisement — particularly about the product being “saffron-infused.”
The Allegations
- The complaint states that saffron costs nearly ₹4 lakh per kilogram, making it impossible to include in a ₹5 pouch of pan masala.
- The petitioner argued that the advertisement misleads consumers and encourages youth to use harmful products like pan masala, which are linked to health issues such as mouth cancer.
- The case highlights celebrity responsibility and truth in advertising, especially for products that can harm public health.
Court Action
- The Kota Consumer Court has issued a legal notice to Salman Khan and the Rajshree Pan Masala company, asking for their response.
- The next hearing in the case is scheduled for 27 November 2025.
