The Tourism Ministry of India has sacked actor Aamir Khan as the brand ambassador of Incredible India. The announcement was expected in the aftermath of Aamir’s comments on ‘intolerance’ and his wife feeling of a sense of ‘insecurity’ and ‘fear’ in India.
Aamir had even gone to the extent of saying, his wife had given ‘moving out of India’ a thought.
Aamir had said “As an individual, as part of this country as a citizen, we read in the papers what is happening, we see it on the news and certainly, I have been alarmed. I can’t deny. I have been alarmed by a number of incidents.”
“When I chat with Kiran at home, she says ‘Should we move out of India?’ That’s a disastrous and big statement for Kiran to make. She fears for her child. She fears about what the atmosphere around us will be. She feels scared to open the newspapers every day. That does indicate that there is this sense of growing disquiet, there is growing despondency apart from alarm. You feel why this is happening, you feel low. That sense does exist in me”
However, Aamir had later clarified that neither he nor his wife Kiran have any intention of leaving the country.
The Central Government had appointed Aamir Khan as the Brand Ambassador of Incredible India, which promotes Indian tourism.

#BoycottDangal
Aamir should have said India is a beautiful country and whoop..dilwale would have become the highest grosser of year.lol
The great Dalai Lama, reserve bank governer Raghuram rajan, Infosys’ founder Narayanmurthi, veteran Gulzar Saab, Padma vibhushan scientist P.M Bhargav also raised their voice against growing intolerance. A few questions to govt and bhakts…
1. Will send back Dalai Lama to Tibet???
2. Will you sack Raghuram rajan too like Aamir sir???
3. Will you extort Dada Saheb Falke award & Padma award from Guljar Saab???
4. Will you cancel Infosys’s licence???
5. Will you close “Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology” which started by scientist Bhargav???
lol…nkw its time to bhakts..ie sallu… He will be next ambassador… A criminal…may be …well…. So sad about aamir sir…
I will never forget how aamir planned to hurt srk & his movie dilwale.
Let dangal come then i will show him the result for poking srk.
Tiger@ shut up, okay. How you become so sane person? when dilwale was banned, protest and show cancelled, why didn’t you comment such statement. You were support to protest dilwale. If you are honest person then you should behaved the same way like you are doing now.
At least aamir stood by what he said but..but U – turnwale actor completely took a 360 degrees expecting a 360 crore lifetime ! Rofl
Simply great decision by BHARAT
Neglect those who doesn’t respect BHARAT
HRITHIK ROSHAN will be wise decision for “INCREDIBLE INDIA”
@Iqbal aamir won’t come any where ..instead your whole lulliwood is shifting to India.
According to morons if Aamir didn’t make the statement then excusewale would have collected more than pk.
My question to the morons then why did CE, HNY fail to collect 220cr forget 350cr??? Why did jthj, don2 etc struggled to go past even 100cr mark??? Nobody made any statement during their release time.
The biggest hypocite ever – Tiger the real chuuha.
During Dilwale protests – chuuha and other bhaitards – ‘Dilwale should be banned, SRK is deshdrohi, he should go to Pakistan .. Blah blah blah. They even created multiple ID’s to spread negativity about Dilwale.
During Salman’s tweet supporting terrorist Yakub – Bhai has just expressed himself, we all have freedom of speech .. Blah blah blah.
Now that tingu has been sacked – Aamir sir had spoken the truth, bring up Dalai Lama, Gulzar’s topic etc etc .. Bla blah blah
Biggest hypocrites ever.
Wait and watch .. Y’all will have to pay for this !!
?2 fans of Shera’s close friend.

Shame on Modi & His Nonsense Bhakts…
@bicky:

@ pokemon

u look like below 16 kid. if nt u need to be mature with sense.
wat abt those insecures who likes tht comment. come on guys stop promoting nonsense .
All the LEGEND Aamir Haters are like Barking Dogs who didnt do anyhting themselves and criticizing Aamir who has done so much for the country.
SHAME ON MENTAL BHAKTS.
How can you post such rubbish comments like that of @Iqbal’s 3:34PM??
These sort of comments lead to fight on a religious basis which should not happen!
A few questions to bhakts, who label everyone anti nationals having different opinions…
Union ministers & MPs are comparing Dalits with Dogs, isn’t it intolerance???
Most of BJP leaders and union ministers are justfying the killing of Kulbargi, Davolkar and Akhlakh. Isn’t it intolerance???
Most of the BJP leaders, chief ministers even governors are saying that Muslim must leave India and go to Pakistan. Why should they leave their motherland??? Isn’t it intolerance???
All the scientist, artists, historians, journalists, poets who raise their voice against intolerance are taged desdrohi & pakistani agents. Isn’t it intolerance???
Most recently they have said SRK an Aamir are Deshdrohi & Pakistani agent. Even compared him with terrorist Hafiz saeed. Isn’t it intolerance???
A few days back Home ministry of India published a report saying more than 300 communial clashed happened in last three months. Isn’t it a symbol of intolerance???
Fan of Aamir. Didn’t boycott Dilwale and wont boycott Dangal. Right decision made.
Dangal is next..will Boycott it for sure
@ Iqbal..
Why r u commenting on movie industry that belongs to India on a site that named as INDIcine, pls go, watch and comment on your own home grown movie industry. Oh Wait! there ain’t any.
Nice decision by the Ministry.
#boycott Dangal.
#boycott Amir.
By sacking Aamir sir the government has destroyed its own image. No effect on megastar Aamir sir.
World has moved on,Years have changed but this @Tiger:the chuha is still ranting and spamming with his same comment!
@indicine:
You should not published comments like 3:34pm. This types of comment diverse the whole issue and make it Hindu vs Muslim. Please delete it.
May we know the comment was from a chameleon I’d or real I’d???
@buddha ka ullu:
If world has moved on then WTH the government sacked Aamir sir??? Any answer??
And if my points are not valid then prove them wrong with logical arguments rather blabbering rubbish.
Main bhi usse Baat kar raha hu who believe only what some Hinduexistence/Muslimexistence sites say!!!
Tiger.. Aamir was appointed brand ambassador of Tourism promotion campaign called Incredible India. He was appointed by the government.
Then he says.. India is intolerant and my wife talks about leaving the country.
How can he be brand ambassador of Incredible India when he is hurting the image of the country?
He is Snapdeal brand ambassador, if tomorrow he gives a statement that Snapdeal service is no longer good and I feel like shopping on Flipkart.. obviously he will be sacked the never next day.
Is this so difficult to understand?
@indicine Tourism ministry hasn’t even confirmed this. Why are you creating sensationalism for traffic?
