Aamir Khan trolled by filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri

A new ad featuring Aamir Khan and Kiara Advani seems to have landed in trouble on social media.

In a tweet that is now going viral, filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri slammed the ad and alleged that it is the best example of social activism gone wrong.

The ad in question shows Aamir as the groom and Kiara as the bride.

The ad shows the newlyweds are seen inside their car after the wedding.

While the usual norm in most cultures is that the bride goes to the groom’s house, the ad shows the man moving to the bride’s house to help her with her ailing father.

The scene in which he takes the first step into the house has been designed to look as dramatic as it is when the bride enters the new house. “Why should traditions that have continued for centuries continue to do so? That’s why we question every banking tradition. So that you get the best service,” says Aamir as the ad concludes. 

Agnihotri slams banking system

As mentioned by the filmmaker in his tweet now, the ad encourages misplaced activism. Calling the makers of the commercial ad ‘idiots’, Agnihotri wrote on Twitter: “I just fail to understand since when banks have become responsible for changing social & religious traditions? I think @aubankindia should do activism by changing the corrupt banking system. Aisi bakwaas karte hain fir kehte hain Hindus are trolling. Idiots (sic).”
