Shah Rukh Khan has found himself embroiled in a controversy due to the promotion of an online gaming app. On Saturday, August 26, a group of individuals gathered outside the actor’s residence, Mannat, in Mumbai to express their discontent.

In response to the protest, the Mumbai police were promptly deployed and security was heightened. A video circulating online also shows the police ensuring the safety and security of the surrounding area. “No protestors have been arrested in this case so far,” a Bandra police official told us.

The trouble started after an online rummy portal welcomed the Pathaan actor as its brand ambassador. This did not go down well with Untouch Youth Foundation, which said they would protest these gaming apps. The foundation issued a statement that read, “Famous actors and actresses work in these advertisements and they are working towards misguiding society. The protest will be held outside Shah Rukh Khan’s Mannat bungalow on behalf of Untouch India Foundation.”

Krishchandra Adal, President of the organization also said, “If someone is gambling outside, the police arrest them... Bollywood stars also know it is wrong, but they are getting money so they are promoting them. We demand these advertisements to stop.”

They also wanted to protest outside the homes of actors Ajay Devgn, Annu Kapoor, Rakul Preet Singh, Rana Daggubati, Prakash Raj, among others, but were detained before they could do so.
