BYJU’S HALTS SRK’S ADS AFTER TWITTER STORM | 10 October, 2021

Byju’s has temporarily halted advertisements featuring brand ambassador Shah Rukh Khan. This follows a Twitter storm over the online education company continuing to use the star at a time when his son, Aryan Khan, has been remanded to judicial custody for alleged drugs use. Of course, Shah Rukh endorses other brands too, but it is Byju’s which has come under attack because it caters to children’s learning, and the issue involves the actor’s son and drugs.
