The theatrical release of Shah Rukh Khan’s forthcoming flick, Jawan, is nearing. While many of his fans can’t wait to see him back on the big screen, the Bollywood actor recently got into problems with one of his advertisements that promoted online gaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A crowd gathered outside SRK’s Mannat home in Mumbai on Saturday, August 26, in the afternoon to protest his support for online gaming apps. As soon as the crowd gathered, Mumbai police increased their security over his residence, Mannat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shah Rukh Khan has recently joined the A23 Games Platform as the Brand Ambassador, according to the online rummy platform A23. He shot a commercial for the app in which he says in Hindi, Chalo Saath Khelein which translates as, let\u2019s play together. Untouch Youth Foundation took the lead in organising a protest against it. The organisation announced that it would stage a protest against websites and gaming applications like Zupee and Junglee Rummy. The protesters also expressed their opposition to online gaming sites, claiming that they corrupt and mislead young people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to reports, the organisation made an official statement regarding the protest in which it claimed that “famous actors and actresses work in these advertising and they are working to mislead society. On behalf of the Untouch India Foundation, a protest will be organised outside Shah Rukh Khan’s Mannat residence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The younger generation plays Junglee rummy, said Krishchandra Adal, president of the Untouch India Foundation. Big Bollywood stars advertising online games are fooling the younger generation, yet police will arrest someone who is playing Junglee rummy or gambling outside. The Bollywood celebrities are pushing them even though they are aware that it is wrong but they are promoting it because they are getting money. He also said, these celebrities become famous after we watch their film, we spend our money on their film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The director also said, they demand an end to these commercials. Since they are prohibited, we cannot find these apps on Google. Instead, they are being posted to private websites, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, soon, Mumbai police arrived in front of Mannat, Shah Rukh Khan’s residence in Bandra after the protestors arrived there. According to reports, the police also arrested about 4-5 people. Mumbai police are seen securing the region close to Mannat in a video that has been circulated online.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
