A fan took to the comments section of the Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham actor's Facebook post and asked him why he endorses pan masala through his advertisements. Translated in English the comment read, "Hello sir, I just one question for you. Why did you endorse a pan masala brand? Then what is the difference between you and these Tatpunjis (broke artists)"

The actor then replied to the comment and mentioned that he gets paid for his work. Translated in English his reply to the fan's comment read, "If some people are getting benefits from an industry, we should not think as to 'why am I getting associated with it?' If it is an industry, then we too should think of it as our industry. Now, you may think that I should not be doing it, but I get paid for it." He further explained in his reply that the fan should not be using the word 'Tatpunjis', as it would not be fair to others in the industry. In English, the rest of his comment read, "In our business, there are a number of people who are workers and in a way, they too get work and some money. Besides, gentleman, please don't use the word 'tatpunjiya'. It doesn't look good coming from you. It is also not fair on all the other workers in our industry."
