Incident after incident, or is it a calculated move?
Amidst the viral advertisement controversy, Shah Rukh Khan's residence, Mannat, is now hit with a shocking incident on Monday, August 17th.
Two giant snakes were spotted on the property on the auspicious occasion of Hindu culture, Nag Panchami.
What is Nag Panchami?
For those unaware, Nag Panchami is a traditional Hindu festival dedicated to the worship of serpent deities, or Nagas.
It is observed on the fifth day of the bright half of the lunar month.
The seemingly shocking yet lucky incident for Shah Rukh and his family was a rescue operation that was launched, resulting in one of the reptiles being safely caught and released.
Notably, the incident came to light after a snake rescuer, Vicky Dubey, revealed to the Hindustan Times that he received a call around 8 pm after the snakes were noticed moving around the Bandra property.
He immediately informed Forest Department officials and the Mumbai Range Office, Thane, before making his way to Mannat.
It is unclear whether the two snakes were venomous or not.
Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgn and Tiger Shroff's advertisement controversy
As the new details of the shocking incident surfaced on social media, fans noticed that maybe it is a calculated move by the superstar after he received a show-cause notice for his viral advertisement with Ajay Devgn and Tiger Shroff.
Reportedly, to distract the media attention, the alleged snake incident occurred in his residence after tensions had escalated due to the Virmal commercial.
According to the notice issued by the FDA’s Greater Mumbai division on August 11, the use of the name “VIMAL Elaichi” in the advertisement appears to create an association with the Vimal Pan Masala brand.
The department said this could mislead consumers and indirectly promote a prohibited product.
Additionally, the FDA described the notice as a "final warning" and summoned the three Indian actors to respond to the show-cause document within 15 working days.
So far, neither Shah Rukh Khan nor Virmal's advertisement team have addressed the controversy.
