He used to be a healthy thinker who says "normal", as ajay Devgan says "normal" now Shah Rukh Khan follows the same path. Billions of rupees have been spent to make these posters. And what do you teach people? (They say) We don't sell pan masala, they say superi. But they know what they're doing."

As everyone knows, it is called misleading advertising. What are these ads? No money? That's what I tell them, don't do these things, you have a lot of money. A few actors have also discovered it, Akshay being one of them. If I am not mistaken, amitabh bachchan has also moved on. But till today billions of rupees have been spent in doing these trades... people smear each other with paint (and say) kesaria jaban (saffron tongue). You teach people to eat gutka! Don't do it!” he explained.

Yes, I will." send mota paisa hota hai (a lot of money will be given to you). It's an offer, but these things are bad and I can't promote them. And I am asking all these famous actors, "Sir, people are watching you, imitating you, don't act". You've made a name for yourself, people say, "If they can do it, we can do it."
