Bollywood’s glam pair Shah Rukh Khan and deepika padukone have once again landed in the headlines – but this time, not for a blockbuster movie or a sizzling on-screen pairing. A case has been filed against the stars for allegedly endorsing a faulty car model, leaving customers fuming and questioning whether celebrities should be held accountable for the products they promote. The complaint states that several buyers experienced repeated issues with the car that SRK and deepika had heavily endorsed in glossy ad campaigns. From engine troubles to safety concerns, customers are now accusing the company of misleading promotions, with fingers pointed directly at the brand ambassadors who lent their faces and credibility.
Fans are divided. While many argue that stars like SRK and deepika simply “act” in endorsements and can’t be blamed for technical failures, others feel that their massive influence comes with responsibility. “If they earn crores for appearing in ads, shouldn’t they also be responsible when things go wrong?” a consumer rights activist was quoted as saying. This controversy has sparked a larger debate in bollywood and beyond – are celebs just endorsers, or are they accountable stakeholders? For now, both actors remain silent, but the courtroom drama promises to be as gripping as any film they’ve starred in.
