Dhruv Rathee questioned Shah Rukh Khan’s promotion of pan masala.

YouTuber raises questions
Dhruv Rathee has accused Shah Rukh Khan of promoting his pan masala brand.
In a video, Dhruv questioned why SRK, who is among the world’s richest actors, is promoting products that are harmful to health.
Questioning the Billionaire
Rathi claimed that Shah Rukh’s net worth is approximately ₹12,400 crore. He asked, “Isn’t that enough money?
If it’s enough, then why are you promoting something as harmful as pan masala?” He urged SRK to introspect.
Old interview goes viral
Amidst this debate, an old interview of SRK is going viral, in which he was answering questions about soft drink advertisements.
He had said, “If the government feels a product is harmful, then they should ban it. I’m an actor, my job is to earn money.”

SRK’s argument was different
Shah Rukh had clearly stated in that interview, “The government doesn’t ban harmful products because they generate revenue.
So why do you want to ban my earnings too?” He believed that the products should be completely banned.
Fans defend the actor
Although Shah Rukh has not yet responded to the matter, his fans are defending him on social media.
Many fans believe that promoting pan masala is inappropriate, but they also say that SRK has every right to make his own decisions.
What will change in the future?
The question is, will the country’s top actor stop promoting such products?
Dhruv Rathee believes that doing so will have a positive impact on society.
Now it remains to be seen how this debate progresses and whether King Khan gives any reaction to it.
