Three prominent Bollywood actors, including Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgn and Tiger Shroff, have been warned by Maharashtra authorities over advertisements linked to a brand associated with a prohibited pan masala product. The warning was issued as Maharashtra steps up its food safety campaign and takes stricter action against businesses and products considered to pose health risks. According to the state Food and Drug Administration, the actors appeared in promotional material for Vimal-branded cardamoms. Authorities, however, said the brand is strongly associated with a pan masala product that is prohibited under relevant regulations. Officials expressed concern that advertising the associated brand could indirectly promote the banned product by keeping its name and identity familiar to consumers. The Maharashtra FDA has asked the three actors to provide explanations within 15 days. The notice also warned that continued use of the brand in promotional campaigns could reinforce consumer recognition of the prohibited product. The controversy comes as Maharashtra’s food safety authorities have intensified inspections across Mumbai and other parts of the state. Officials have recently taken action against restaurants and food businesses over hygiene and safety violations. Authorities have also targeted large retail and food chains as part of the wider campaign, including the closure of several outlets and warehouses. Pan masala remains a major consumer market in India despite concerns over its health effects. Medical experts have repeatedly warned that products containing areca nut can contribute to serious oral health problems and increase the risk of conditions that may develop into oral cancer, particularly when tobacco is also involved. The actors’ representatives have not publicly responded to the warning so far. The company associated with the Vimal brand has also not issued a response to the notice. The case has renewed debate over celebrity endorsements of products that may be marketed under one category while remaining closely associated with restricted or harmful products. It also places greater attention on the responsibility of public figures when promoting brands with controversial product lines.

Pakistani actor and television host Fahad Mustafa has once again attracted attention on social media after sharing new pictures from the sets of his upcoming film Aag Lagay Basti Mein. The actor, who is also a successful producer and the founder of Big Bang Productions, has remained one of the most prominent figures in Pakistan’s entertainment industry. His latest social media post has generated renewed discussion because a woman previously linked to reports about his alleged second marriage was also spotted at the film’s sets. Fahad had previously faced speculation regarding an alleged second marriage with Hina Aman. The reports gained significant attention online after photographs of the two surfaced on social media. However, Fahad Mustafa did not publicly confirm or deny the reports at the time. Hina Aman also did not issue a public statement regarding the claims. The matter therefore remained unconfirmed. Now, nearly a year after the earlier speculation, Fahad has shared photographs from the sets of Aag Lagay Basti Mein. Hina Aman was reportedly seen at the location alongside the actor, prompting social media users to revisit the previous marriage rumours. The new pictures quickly attracted attention from fans and entertainment followers. Many users began discussing the woman’s presence at the film’s sets and its connection with the earlier reports surrounding Fahad’s personal life. Another detail that caught the attention of social media users was that comments on Fahad Mustafa’s latest post had been disabled. This further fuelled online discussion, although there has been no official statement from the actor explaining the decision. The photographs themselves do not confirm any marriage or relationship. Fahad Mustafa has not made a public announcement regarding the allegations, and the renewed speculation remains based on social media discussions and the reported appearance of Hina Aman at the film’s sets. Fahad Mustafa has generally maintained a private approach to his personal affairs while remaining highly active professionally. Alongside acting and hosting, he has established himself as a producer through Big Bang Productions, which has produced several successful Pakistani television projects. His latest film project has also kept him in the public spotlight. The appearance of Hina Aman at the shooting location has now brought renewed interest in a controversy that had largely faded from public discussion.
