As a Kay Kay Menon fan, I'm disappointed 😞 His work shouldn't be misused like this. Hope he takes legal action against this copyright violation.

Both sides are playing dirty games this election season. First EVM issues, now fake endorsements. When will politics become about real issues? 🤔

Congress should apologize publicly! Using Himmat Singh's character like this is misleading voters. This isn't how you build trust in democracy.

The bigger issue is vote theft allegations. Whether Congress used a fake ad or not, we need transparency in electoral process. Jai Hind!

Why are we surprised? All parties do this during elections. Remember when BJP used AI-generated voices of actors? The whole system needs cleaning.

Respect to Kay Kay for speaking up immediately. At least someone has integrity in this mess. Bollywood should unite against such misuse.
