Impact

People 'tolerant' to scandals but SRK's image did suffer: Experts

Sandeep Goyal, chief mentor of the Indian Institute of Human Brands, told Economic Times, "While there is a lot of mauling on social media right now, people, in general, have become much more tolerant or acceptable to such 'lifestyle transgressions' of the celebrities."
