One of India’s leading e-commerce websites, Snapdeal, has distanced itself from its brand ambassador Aamir Khan’s comments on ‘intolerance’ that led to his wife ‘wanting to leave the country’.
In a statement released to the media, Snapdeal called itself a proud Indian company and said it was neither connected nor plays a role in comments made by Aamir.
“Snapdeal is neither connected nor plays a role in comments made by Aamir Khan in his personal capacity. Snapdeal is a proud Indian company built by passionate young Indians focused on building an inclusive digital India. Everyday we are positively impacting thousands of small businesses and millions of consumers in India. We will continue towards our mission of creating one million successful online entrepreneurs in India” the statement read.
Thousands of people have not only been uninstalling Snapdeal from their mobile devices, but also asking their family and friends to do so. In fact, the Snapdeal app on the Google Play Store has received nearly 30,000 negative reviews in the last 48 hours, with users dropping comments asking Snapdeal to remove Aamir as the brand ambassador.
#AppWapsi, #BootOutSnapdeal and #EveryoneOnFlipkart have been trending on Twitter.

2002 Gujarat riots happened under Congress rule!!! Really??? During those days Atalji was a PM of India and fekulal was the CM of Gujarat. So, according to you Atalji was a Congressman…!!! You Buddha thoda toh Dimag lagaya kar.
@TIGER-the real criminal
Moron don’t blabber too much….do you even know the reason why this riot happened at first place? Why would you know? because you might have been busy repairing cars in some dirty garage. Didn’t you? Listen the truth behind it khangress stooge…some hindus while returning in sabarmati express from ayodhya were burnt alive by some people…The whole thing was setup by KHANGRESS to disturb the political situation not only of Gujarat but also of India. As both the state and centre was ruled by BJP then. As a reaction to that the riot happened in gujarat and dumbo likes you with out knowing the truth blindly accuse Modi who has been granted clean sheet by supreme court already. Khangress were responsible 1984 riots and also for 2002 riots and they are to blame for kashmiri Pandits situation….Know your shit before blabbering moron. Better stick to movie rather than politics dumbo…
