Aamir Khan's statement on discontinuation of Incredible India campaign

7th January 2016

Rumours of Aamir Khan being no longer a part of Incredible India campaign has been in the news for past two days.

It is being said that the ministry had to take this step post Aamir's intolerance controversy. However, Khan's latest statement has changed the complete perspective of the ongoing debate.

Aamir issued a statement through his spokesperson which reads:

It has been an honour and a pleasure for me to be the Brand Ambassador for the Incredible India campaign for the past 10 years. I was happy to be of service to my country, and will always be available for it. I would like to clarify that all public service films I have done till date have all been free of any cost to me. It is always an honour for me to be of service of my country, and this is how it will always be. It is the prerogative of the government to decide whether they need a brand ambassador for any campaign, and if so, who that ambassador should be. I respect the decision of the government to discontinue with my services. I am sure they will take all appropriate steps to do what is best for the country. Whether I am brand ambassador or not, India will remain Incredible, and that's the way it should be.
