Aamir Khan has been keeping away from the public eye after his last release Laal Singh Chaddha failed at the box office. The superstar recently featured in a commercial which landed in a controversy as netizens slammed it for hurting the religious sentiments of a particular community.
Amid the ongoing uproar on social media, Aamir was snapped in Mumbai by the paparazzi. The Dangal actor, as usual, kept a low profile as he donned a hoodie and had a mask on, making his face hardly visible. The photos are being shared on social media heavily as it is not very often that Aamir gets spotted by shutterbugs.
Meanwhile, speaking of the ongoing controversy over Aamir and Kiara’s ad, it features the two celebs as a newly married couple who change traditions. In the commercial for a bank, Aamir is seen moving into Kiara’s house post their marriage to take care of her ailing father.
As soon as the ad went on air, social media users called it out for questioning traditions being followed for centuries. Vivek Agnihotri too raised his voice against the latest outing of Aamir as he slammed the commercial in a Twitter post.
“I just fail to understand since when Banks have become responsible for changing social & religious traditions? I think @aubankindia should do activism by changing corrupt banking system. Aisi bakwaas karte hain fir kehte hain Hindus are trolling. Idiots,” wrote The Kashmir Files director.
On the work front, Aamir is currently in the middle of reading scripts and is expected to zero down on a project soon. He returned to the big screen after a gap of 4 years with Laal Singh Chaddha, a remake of Hollywood’s cult classic Forrest Gump. The Advait Chandan directorial is currently streaming on Netflix.
