Oct 15(ABC): Narottam Mishra, home minister for India’s Madhya Pradesh, has asked Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan to avoid acting in ads that “hurt religious sentiments” after the actor’s recent ad commercial sparked outrage.
The ad was for a bank where Khan and a co-actress Kiara Advani act as a Hindu couple getting married and performing Hindu wedding rituals.
The Hindu right-wingers have found the ad offensive and believe that it attacked Hindu culture.
The ad shows Khan stepping into his bride’s home after marriage whereas originally the Hindu tradition requires a bride to enter her groom’s house.
