Endorsements, Ethics, and Online Outrage: The Money and Morality Behind Bollywood Ads

Pan masala endorsements aren’t just ads—they’re a flashpoint for money, ethics, and online drama. The discussion kicks off with questions like how much stars are paid for the pan masala ads and spirals into lobbying, taxes, and the gutka industry’s clout ^[1]. The thread paints a tense picture: some say the Gutka industry is a well-oiled machine that shapes who toasts to celebrity faces, while others worry about health and regulation. A stark line from the chatter: "More than 90% of the oral cancers are due to tobacco consumption" ^[1].

Old Controversies & the Twitter Echo An older moment resurfaces in post discussions: an old tweet from Farah Khan Ali, sister of Sajid Khan, from the Salman Khan case in 2015, now fodder for fresh debates about accountability and memory ^[2]. The thread shows how online outrage lingers, drawing in fans and critics around figures like Salman Khan and the broader web of Bollywood loyalties and feuds. Some comments imply people rehash histories to score cultural points, while others defend the idea that opinions evolve with time ^[2].

Takeaway: bolstered endorsements come tangled with health debates, political pressure, and the timeless pull of old headlines—reminding us that money and morality in Bollywood ads live in one noisy, enduring loop.
