He even circulated nearly 1000 pamphlets explaining how much he and his family chews tobacco. The pamphlets have been posted on the walls in Sanganer, Jagatpura and nearby areas of the city.
Talking to news agency PTI, Nanakram’s son Dinesh Meena said, “My father Nanakram Meena started chewing tobacco a few years ago and was using the same brand for which Ajay Devgn does the advertisement.

Recently Shah Rukh Khan also made a special appearance in Ajay Devgn’s commercial. In the video, Ajay was seen chasing an unknown figure who was later revealed to be SRK. The two connected over Vimal pan masala in a foreign country. Several netizens on Twitter also poked fun at both the stars.
