SRK’s endorsement of shaving cream lands him in legal trouble

Shah Rukh Khan has many endorsements in his kitty, including that of a shaving cream. But unfortunately this one brand has called for a legal trouble for him. A resident of Bhopal, Rajkumar Pandey, has filed a complaint against the superstar after he incurred rashes on his face, thanks to this cream. The complainant alleges that SRK is misleading people by informing that this cream is ‘India’s number one’ shaving cream by endorsing it. Apparently, the complainant developed rashes after using this cream and then he had to go to a government hospital to get a treatment.

As per a report in Hindustan Times, originally attributed to PTI Bhasha, magistrate Kashinath Singh has sent legal notices to Shah Rukh Khan, the manufacturer of the product, a local shopkeeper and the director of Madhya Pradesh Food and Drugs Department after hearing the Bhopal resident’s complaint. Apparently, the complainant got the this cream tested and it was found out that the cream is of low, bad quality. No confirmation or clarification has been given from Shah Rukh’s team as of yet.

For long, the debate has been on as to whether celebrities should endorse the products they do not use or believe in. We remember how Amitabh Bachchan, Madhuri Dixit and Preity Zinta were served PILs when instant noodles Maggie was discovered to constant harmful components like MSG and lead. The controversy took a really long time to die down. (Also Read: SRK on his equation with Aryan: We crack some dirty jokes)

Anyway, let’s wait and watch if any statement comes from SRK himself or his legal team, regarding the matter.

Talking about SRK, he is gearing up for the release of his next film, ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’. He would be sharing the screen space with Anushka Sharma for the third time in this film. It is directed by Imtiaz Ali and is slated to release on August 4, 2017.
