Kicking up yet another storm, Indian Yoga guru Baba Ramdev, on Sunday accused Bollywood superstars, including actor Salman Khan of consuming drugs and alleged that drugs are rampant in the industry and in politics. He mentioned Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan and accused other Bollywood actors.
Video clips showing Ramdev make explosive comments have gone viral on social media.
Baba Ramdev was speaking at the Aryaveer and Veerangana conference in Moradabad on Saturday. In his speech he said, "Salman Khan takes drugs, I do not know about Aamir Khan. Shah Rukh Khan's child was caught while taking drugs and remained in jail. As far as actresses are concerned, God alone knows about them."
He added that drugs are rampant in the film industry and there are drugs in politics too. He alleged that liquor is distributed during elections, and citizens should promise to make India free from drug addiction. “For this we will launch a movement,” he said.

Last year, Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau as a suspect during a drug raid in a cruise ship. He was later acquitted by the court after the agency failed to sufficiently prove their claim as no drugs were recovered from Aryan’s possession.
Several other stars like Deepika Padukone, Shraddha Kapoor, Rakul Preet Singh, Arjun Rampal, Rhea Chakraborty were also questioned by the NCB in separate investigations last year.
Baba Ramdev’s recent claim now targets Salman Khan while no drug cases have been registered against the actor.
