New Delhi: Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra on Wednesday advised Aamir Khan by tweeting that he should stay away from advertisements and acts which hurt religious sentiments after a bank advertisement featuring Khan and actor Kiara Advani faced criticism from some people on social media platforms.

Talking to reporters here, Mishra also said Khan should do such advertisements by keeping Indian traditions and customs in mind.

Mishra said, “I have seen actor Aamir Khan's advertisement for a private bank after receiving a complaint. I request him to do such advertisements by keeping the Indian traditions and customs in mind." "I do not consider it appropriate. Such things about Indian tradition, customs and deities keep coming, especially about Aamir Khan. The sentiments of a particular religion are hurt by such acts. I believe he is not allowed to hurt anyone's sentiments,” said Mishra, who is also the state government's spokesperson.

विज्ञापनों और फिल्मों में भारतीय परंपराओं और रीति-रिवाजों को तोड़-मरोड़ कर प्रस्तुत करने से धार्मिक आस्थाएं आहत होती हैं।

The controversy erupted after an advertisement of Aamir Khan has been launched recently in which he was accompanied by Bollywood actress Kiara Advani in this advertisement. The ad featured Aamir and Kiara as a newlywed couple, but the real controversy stems from the message conveyed in the ad.

After marriage, the bride takes Aamir Khan to her house. At the same time, the groom takes the first step during the entry of the house. Many people have expressed their objection regarding this advertisement. People have said that things have been shown in this advertisement against Hindu customs. Since then Aamir and Kiara are being criticized on the internet.
