A day after it was confirmed that Aamir Khan is no longer the ambassador of Incredible India, the actor gracefully affirmed the same and said that he respects the decision made by the government not to extend his contract.
“It has been an honor and a pleasure for me to be the brand ambassador for the Incredible India campaign for the past 10 years. 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,” said Aamir in an official statement.
The actor-producer also said that “all public service Films I have done till date have all been free of cost”.
Aamir’s statement came after Union Minister of State for Culture and Tourism Mahesh Sharma informed media that Aamir was no longer the Incredible India’s ambassador.
Soon, a controversy emerged that the government removed Aamir as the face of India in response to his recent remarks about growing “intolerance” in India.
