Mumbai, August 16, 2026 (ANI): Food & Drug Administration issued a notice to Bollywood actors Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgn, Tiger Shroff. Notice sent to the actors for advertising Chewing Elaichi brand in violation of FSSI Act 2006 & its amended rules. On FDA notices to actors, Shiv Sena Spokesperson Shaina NC said, “We all know how hazardous gutka and pan masala are to health. Our own leader, Eknathji Shinde, met with the FDA Commissioner, Tukaram Munde ji, a few days ago. And I think that every step taken in the right direction should be viewed as a decision in the public interest. This is not about celebrities endorsing causes, but this is about them being role models in society and thinking and projecting the correct views for the people to follow.”
