A day after the government confirmed that Aamir Khan is no longer a part of its vast Incredible India campaign, the actor said, "It is the prerogative of the government to decide whether they need a brand ambassador for any campaign, and if so, who that ambassador should be. I respect the decision of the government to discontinue with my services." He further said, "I would like to clarify that all public service films I have done till date have all been free of any cost to me. Whether I am brand ambassador or not, India will remain Incredible, and that's the way it should be."
Aamir Khan landed himself in trouble in November last year when during speaking at a public function he said that his wife has suggested that they should move abroad due to the growing intolerance in their own country. The statement led to wide spread backlash which hasn't died down since.
