According to news reports, his net worth has reached $1.4 billion. In Indian rupees, that’s about ₹12,400 crore. Do you know how much money that is? It’s hard to even imagine.)” He questioned SRK’s decision to promote a paan masala brand. “Mera Shah Rukh Khan sesawaalyehhai, kyaitnepaisekaafinahihaikya?

(The real question is: Do you actually need this extra ₹100–200 crore? Look within yourself and ask honestly. What will you even do with so much wealth? Now think from another angle, if the country’s top actor stops promoting such harmful products, what kind of impact could that have on the nation?”)
