FIR against Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone over allegations of fraud: Report – Firstpost

A FIR has been registered against Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, and six others in Bharatpur, Rajasthan over allegations of fraud. The case is related to an advertisement of Hyundai that the Pathaan stars did.

The resident of Bharatpur has said in his FIR that he purchased the Hyundai Alcazar SUV that began to face technical issues and faults within months. He tried reaching out to the company but to no avail.

“After driving the car for 6-7 months, technical faults started appearing. It would make noise and vibrate when driven at high speeds. The car shows malfunction signs on the engine management system,” he stated in his complaint. The name of the complainant is Kirti Singh.

Amid the Supeme Court’s ruling that celebrities are liable and responsible if the products they endorse turn out to be faulty, SRK and Padukone are yet to respond to the FIR. Khan has been the brand ambassador of Hyundai since 1998.

There is no guarantee of box office or critical acclaim. That is the advice Shah Rukh Khan gave his son Aryan who makes his directorial debut with the series “The Ba***ds of Bollywood”.

Addressing an event where the show’s first footage was unveiled before the media, the superstar on Friday said it is a special day as Aryan takes his first steps in the world of showbiz.

“He is very hard working because we’ve taught him only a couple of things at home, that there’s no guarantee of box office success and there’s no guarantee that critics will give positive reviews, but when you work hard, there’s full guarantee.

“So, today when he comes in front of you, if you like his work, applaud him, but more importantly shower your blessings and prayers on him. The amount of love that you all have given to me, if you can give 10, 20, 30, 40 per cent or 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 or 150 per cent of that, then just give it all to him,” Shah Rukh told reporters.
