Has Amitabh been confirmed? I hope they take Irfan instead, he represents the common, balanced Indian better than anyone else. Also, he is a known face in the west.

On topic, when you are a brand ambassador you cannot mock, criticise the brand publicly. If you have reservations about the brand, express it privately. The decision to not renew his contract is the right one.

Speaking of BJP's favouritism towards certain actors lets not forget that Congress has done far worse. The Gandhis have always known to have close friendship with certain leading actor(s) from bollywood.


Woow...Irfan is a wonderful choice!

Im surprised they wait for his contract to end! Jis product ko endorse karne ke liye rakha gaya hai you cant defame that product.
I dont know how politics came in this!

Yes it will be a mockery if a person who is not sure of the product, goes around endorsing it...How is he going to endorse it? Hey look, I myself am not sure if I want to live here, but see if you want to come over?😳

Agree with your overall post
but why cant we criticize BJP led govt even if Congress was worse?
If Congress was worse in certain aspect and BJP is not doing too well either should we need to wait till they become equal?

As a responsible citizen I dont want minorities to suffer as well. Just because Congress has taken minority appeasement politics to the greater heights I dont want my IITs and IIMs to be headed by RSS fanatics.

Why cant I do constructive criticism? Why people cant forget Congress govt has changed? Why do we need to compare Modi with a weak PM like Manmohan why not with finest PM like Bajpayee and the great work he has done?

Hi. i have absolutely no problem with critiquing either parties. I have myself been disappointed with the lack of infrastructure spending (except for electricity) from Modi Govt too. My post about Congress was in context of BJP being accused of favouring certain actors and alienating others.

Net result of majority privilege

Yes, constructive criticism is necessary.. But that is not what is happening..Every single "incident", some genuine, some exaggerated and others hyped is milked for months together to show BJP in a bad light. While some others are not even mentioned. Criticize when required but also give credit where it is due. There are SO MANY good initiatives and processes put in place by the government which don't even make it to news channels...

The bias of people like rajdeep, barkha, rana ayyub etc is so blatant... They bleated about beef for days but don't have the guts to speak up on kamlesh tiwari or malda?

RSS are rabble rousers and have never had any kind of large scale acceptance to affect anything at the national level...
Don't know if I have phrased it properly but what I mean to say is there is no comparison between Cong and RSS...
Plus RSS are roughish morons compared to Congress who are stealthy snakes...

Anyways.. Guess I have taken this thread off topic... Sorry abt that..

Aamir had to be removed.

It makes no sense to have a brand ambassador who insults the brand itself.

Incredible India is a tourism campaign. And it would be a joke to have a guy like Aamir Khan still as its ambassador when he says his family feels unsafe, his wife lives in fear and considers leaving the country.

A man who cannot even convince own family about the country, what will he convince tourists? 😆

It is not about government or religion. Anybody would kick out an ambassador who insults the brand itself!

That said AB sr is a run down choice. He is too old, overexposed, jaded and has a shady record. I would have appreciated someone like Sachin Tendulkar to be ambassador - heartbeat of billions and man with clean record.

Enough of bhands.
