New Delhi: Actor Aamir Khan’s observations on “disquiet” in India and that his wife wanted to “leave the country,” stirred a massive controversy. While Congress, AAP and other Opposition parties rushed to endorse the statement, ruling BJP smelt a “conspiracy” behind the remark.
Khan’s colleagues including Anupam Kher and Paresh Rawal slammed him asking “When did ‘Incredible India’ become ‘Intolerant India’ for you”? The government termed his statements as “misplaced.”
Angry Twitterati took to social media attacking the Bollywood actor over his remarks. Many also uninstalled the e-commerce portal Snapdeal app from their mobile phones, whose brand ambassador is the actor, saying they will refrain from shopping from it until Khan is removed as its brand ambassador.
