Akshay Kumar Faces Unexpected Question Over Pan Masala Ads

Akshay Kumar recently attended an event where journalists interacted with him. During the interaction, a woman journalist reportedly referred to the pan masala advertisement featuring Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgn and Tiger Shroff and asked Akshay a playful question about whether he was promoting “Aser” while others were promoting saffron.

Akshay did not offer a detailed response and appeared to simply smile at the question. The video quickly attracted attention online, particularly because he had faced criticism in the past over his association with a pan masala advertisement and later stepped away from it.

The controversy surrounding celebrity endorsements of pan masala continues, with Maharashtra’s Food and Drug Administration reportedly issuing show-cause notices to Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgn and Tiger Shroff over the advertisement.
