'Bheek Mango Andolan'? Upset with Ajay Devgn over online casino games, man begs on street to collect money for him

Netizens often get disappointed with Bollywood celebs for various reasons including the ads that they promote. Earlier, Akshay Kumar had apologized for endorsing a tobacco brand after netizens expressed disappointment.

 

Apart from Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn is another Bollywood actor who is trolled for Pan Masala ads and tagline "Bolo Zubaan Kesari!". This time, people are upset with him for promoting online casino games after Junglee Rummy had several advertisements featuring him.

 

Upset with this, now, a man in Nashik was seen begging on the streets as he was collecting money for Ajay Devgn and took to the streets to start Bheek Maango Andolan for him. He begged for money on the streets and said he would collect it and send it to the actor so that he wouldn't have to engage in promoting such brands for money.

 

He was seen holding the placard on which "Ajay Devgn ke liye bheek maango andolan!" was written. In the viral video, he can be heard saying, “I am protesting against online gaming and its advertisements. These celebs have so much by the grace of God and yet, they choose to promote online gaming which have bad influence on the youth.”

 

 

He further said, “Hence, I have decided that I will run this 'Bheek Maango Andolan', and beg on the streets to collect money, which I will then send to Ajay Devgn with the request to stop being part of such ads. If you need more money, I'll beg again and send you the amount, but please do not endorse such ads. I am requesting this in Gandhigiri style.”

 

For those unversed, in March 2023, Junglee Rummy signed Ajay Devgn as their Newest Brand Ambassador.

 

Junglee Rummy has released several advertisements featuring Ajay Devgn, where he is heard saying that it is the most perfect platform for online Rummy, and urges people to download the app. At the end of the ads, there is a standard disclaimer saying that there is a risk of getting addicted or facing financials problems with the game.

 

This viral video came at a time when a person in Maharashtra lost around 58 crores in an online game.

 

 

Earlier, in June, this year, a man named Vilas Prataprao Shinde from Nanded City in Maharashtra wrote a letter to Ajay Devgn asking him how much money he has won playing online on Junglee Rummy. He claimed that he is not sure whether the Singham star plays the game, however, he influences young minds to play this addictive and destructive game.
