Aamir Khan Files a Police Complaint Over a False Political Ad, Clarifies No Endorsement of Any Party
In a recent turn of events, Aamir Khan, renowned Bollywood actor and filmmaker, has taken legal steps against a fabricated political advertisement that falsely portrayed him endorsing a political party before the Lok Sabha elections. Despite his extensive career and philanthropic efforts, such as establishing the Paani Foundation and hosting the influential show ‘Satyamev Jayate,’ Khan has never publicly endorsed any political party.
Details of the Incident
The controversy began when a video, falsely showing Khan criticizing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over a supposed ’15 lakh’ scheme, circulated widely online. The actor’s team swiftly denounced the video as counterfeit. Following this, Khan lodged a First Information Report (FIR) with Mumbai’s Cyber Crime cell, as reported by the Free Press Journal.
Official Statements and Reactions
In a clarifying statement, Khan’s spokesperson reiterated his longstanding neutrality in political matters, emphasizing his dedication to public awareness campaigns led by the Election Commission over the years. Despite the challenges posed by the misleading video, which sparked considerable attention on social media, the Cyber Crime Cell has yet to address the individuals responsible for its creation and distribution.
Khan’s Professional Path and Upcoming Projects
On the professional front, Aamir Khan’s last cinematic appearance was in ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ (2022), alongside Kareena Kapoor Khan—an adaptation of the acclaimed film ‘Forrest Gump.’ The movie did not meet expectations at the box office. Looking ahead, Khan is set to return in ‘Sitaare Zameen Par,’ a sequel to the beloved ‘Taare Zameen Par,’ reportedly focusing on Down Syndrome.
This incident highlights the actor’s continued commitment to integrity and social responsibility, reflecting his efforts to maintain transparency and truth in all his endeavors, both on and off-screen.
