Salman Khan Lands in Legal Spotlight over Pan Masala Ads; Kota Court Sends Notice

A Kota consumer court has summoned Bollywood actor Salman Khan over advertisements linked to a pan masala brand, with the next hearing set for November 27.
The complaint alleges BJP leader and Rajasthan High Court advocate Inder Mohan Singh Honey filed it at the Kota Consumer Court, accusing the brand of surrogate advertising with claims like `saffron-infused cardamom` and `saffron-infused pan masala`.
Given saffron's cost, the petitioner says pure saffron priced at Rs 4 lakhs per kg can't be in a product retail price Rs 5, and Salman Khan appears in Rajshree Elaichi ads, not pan masala.
Seeking a ban, Inder Mohan Singh Honey warned the ads could mislead young fans and highlighted that pan masala is a leading cause of mouth cancer.
Salman Khan's star power means the case draws intense scrutiny, as his five Rs 100-crore hits and Bigg Boss 19 hosting role keep the issue highly visible.
