Bharatpur, India — Bollywood stars Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone, alongside six officials from Hyundai, are facing legal challenges following allegations related to the promotion of a faulty vehicle. The issue stems from a complaint filed by Kirti Singh, a lawyer from Bharatpur, who claims significant defects in her 2022 Hyundai Alcazar, which she purchased with the expectation of a trouble-free experience.
Singh paid an advance of ₹51,000 and financed her purchase through a loan. After acquiring the vehicle from Malwa Auto Sales Pvt Ltd in Sonipat, she quickly encountered numerous technical issues, particularly with the accelerator and engine management system. Singh asserts that these malfunctions endangered her family’s safety during travel.
Despite numerous reports of the problems to the dealership, Singh alleges that she received no substantial assistance, repair, or refund. Frustrated, she escalated her complaint, which ultimately led to the registration of a First Information Report (FIR) at the Mathura Gate police station, as directed by a local court.
The FIR names prominent Hyundai executives, including Managing Director Ansoo Kim and Chief Operating Officer Tarun Garg, along with the directors of the dealership involved in the sale. The legal document also implicates Khan and Padukone, who served as brand ambassadors for Hyundai, suggesting that their endorsements may have played a role in promoting the allegedly defective vehicle.
With the FIR now lodged, the Mathura Gate police have commenced an investigation into the matter. Authorities are currently assessing the evidence gathered during the inquiry. As of now, neither Khan nor Padukone has publicly addressed the allegations nor the legal case against them.
In the entertainment sphere, Khan is set to appear in an upcoming film titled “King,” directed by Siddharth Anand, who previously collaborated with him on the blockbuster “Pathaan.” The film is generating buzz, especially with reports suggesting that Padukone might also feature, marking another project together following their successful partnerships in films like “Om Shanti Om,” “Chennai Express,” and “Pathaan.”
Padukone is also preparing for her role in Atlee’s ambitious sci-fi film, tentatively titled “AA22xA6,” where she will star alongside Telugu superstar Allu Arjun.
This unfolding legal situation serves as a reminder of the potential ramifications that celebrity endorsements can have, particularly when products associated with them are called into question for their reliability and safety.
