Filmmaker Karan Johar, who is currently

good a reason. The filmmaker has landed in
a soup for an advertisement that was
allegedly aired during the reality show.
According to the reports, an advertisement
promoting Kamla Pasand Pan Masala was
reportedly aired during the show which
has irked the Delhi health department. A
notice has been issued against Karan Johar
and his production house, Dharma
Productions. It is not only Karan Johar but
also the people involved in the show who
gave a nod to airing the illegal
advertisement have been asked by the Delhi
Health Department to appear before them
within 10 days of the filing of the
complaint.
This is the second time Karan Johar has
been sent a notice or violation of the COTPA

Act). If the filmmaker does not cooperate
then he might even face jail time for a
minimum of five years and have to pay a
penalty of Rs. 2000.

reportedly issued a notice to Karan Johar,
Shah Rukh Khan, and other makers of
Ittefaq film for showing Akshaye Khanna
