A consumer court has issued notice to Salman Khan after a complaint against him for being part of \u2018misleading\u2019 pan masala ads. <\/p>\n

Actor Salman Khan<\/a> is facing legal trouble after a consumer court in Kota issued a notice to him regarding allegedly misleading pan masala<\/a> advertisements he has done. A complaint was filed against the actor and the pan masala brand endorsed by him over their advertisements.<\/p>\n

\"Salman Salman Khan is the brand ambassador of Rajshree, which makes elaichi as well as pan masala. Complaint against Salman Khan for pan masala ad<\/p>\n

The complaint, filed by senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and Rajasthan High Court advocate Inder Mohan Singh Honey, sought a ban on the advertisements, and said that they misled the consumers. In his complaint in the Kota Consumer Court, Honey claimed that the company manufacturing Rajshree Pan Masala and its brand ambassador, actor Salman Khan, have been engaged in misleading advertising by promoting the product as containing “saffron-infused cardamom” and “saffron-infused pan masala.” The petitioner said that the claims can\u2019t be true since saffron, which costs about \u20b94 lakh per kilogram, cannot be an ingredient in a product priced at \u20b95. The complaint said that claims like these encourage youngsters to consume pan masala, which is a leading cause of mouth cancer.<\/p>\n

\u201cSalman 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,\u201d the petitioner told ANI.<\/p>\n

Kota consumer court seeks response from actor<\/p>\n

Following the complaint, the Kota Consumer Court has issued notices to the actor and sought a formal response. According to ANI, responses from both the manufacturing company and the actor are awaited. The next hearing is scheduled for 27 November.<\/p>\n

Salman Khan has appeared in ads for Rajshree Elaichi. The company also manufactures pan masala, but the actor has not appeared in any ads for the product.<\/p>\n
