Recently, Aamir Khan and Kiara Advani worked together on a bank commercial for the first time; however, the commercial did not go down well with netizens, and it has caused a stir on social media for allegedly hurting Hindu feelings. In the advertisement, Khan and Advani are portrayed as newlyweds travelling home after their wedding while talking about how neither of them cried during bidaai (a post-wedding ritual). The character of Aamir, who plays a son-in-law, is then revealed to have moved into his wife’s home to take care of her elderly father. Instead of the bride, as is customary in Indian traditional culture, taking the first step into their new home, the groom does it.
Narottam Mishra, the home minister for Madhya Pradesh, addressed the commercial on Wednesday and said, “I have seen actor Aamir Khan’s advertisement for a private bank after receiving a complaint. I request him not to do such advertisements by keeping Indian traditions and customs in mind, and I do not consider it appropriate. Such things about Indian traditions, customs, and deities keep coming, especially (from) Aamir Khan. The sentiments of a particular religion are hurt by such acts,” based on PTI.
Speaking of Aamir and Kiara’s work, they are working on intriguing projects. The actor from Three Idiots, who most recently appeared in Laal Singh Chaddha alongside Kareena Kapoor Khan, will next be seen in RS Prasanna’s remake of the Spanish film Campeones.
After the horror-comedy flick Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, Kiara will work with Kartik Aaryan once more on SatyaPrem Ki Katha. The actress from Lust Stories will appear in Govinda Naam Mera and RC-15, a Telugu movie with Ram Charan playing the lead role.
