Aamir Khan has been criticized many times before (file photo).
Mumbai: Indian extremists have once again accused Bollywood’s Mr. Perfect Aamir Khan of desecrating the Hindu religion and its traditions.
This time, Aamir Khan is being criticized for acting in an advertisement for an Indian bank, in which Kiara Advani has also performed alongside Aamir Khan.
In this ad, Kiara Advani is shown as the bride and Aamir Khan as the groom, but unlike the traditional way of Hinduism, Aamir Khan enters the house first instead of the bride, while the bride is not shown crying while leaving.
The purpose of this ad is to advertise the unique types of loans offered by the bank beyond the traditional terms and conditions.
However, after this advertisement of Aamir Khan, a boycott campaign has started against him again on Twitter and he is being accused of ‘desecrating’ the beliefs of Hindu religion.
I just fail to understand since when Banks have become responsible for changing social & religious traditions? I think @aubankindia should do activism by changing the corrupt banking system.

Director Vivek Agnihotri says in his tweet that ‘I don’t understand since when banks started changing social and religious traditions? I think AU Bank should raise voice against corrupt banking system’.
He added that ‘they do such nonsense and then say that Hindus are criticizing’.

“After seeing this ad, I have withdrawn money from this bank,” said one Twitter user.
On the other hand, Aamir Khan’s fans are also tweeting in support of him.
Advay Singh has said that ‘people are considered bad for anything, Aamir Khan should be praised for doing this, if a house becomes a yawn or a girl does not leave her house, then there are reservations about it. Shouldn’t be’.
Log kahi se bhi offend ho jate h schi😂 Respect to Aamir Khan for doing this ad. It shouldn’t be objectionable if some1 becomes ghar jamai & ldki ka ghar shod ke jana shouldn’t be that obvious. Message is abt ldki hi ghar se bidaa ho vo zaroori nahi & what’s wrong in that? tbc… pic.twitter.com/EDZ6y1Bq75

It is clear that this is not the first time that Aamir Khan has faced criticism for being a Muslim, but before that even after the film ‘PK’ in 2014, he was accused of ‘desecrating the Hindu religion and was accused of ‘mockery’.
