New Delhi: Veteran Bollywood mega-star Aamir Khan recently landed in trouble after a cook-up video featuring him promoting the agenda of a prominent political party went viral on social media.
In the footage, the Dangal actor was seen taking the side of the INC while taking a dig at the current ruling party BJP for failing to provide 15 lakh rupees in the bank accounts of the countrymen.
However, his video was later found to be an AI-generated deep fake that was created by using the actor’s decade-old clip from his talk show Satyamev Jayate.
Aamir’s Team Clears the Air
Dismissing all the gossip & speculations around the viral video, Aamir Khan’s team soon cleared the air with an official statement in which they informed that the 60-year-old has taken legal action against the unidentified person for creating his deceiving clip.
In the same statement, Khan’s team further asserted that the Dhoom 3 actor has never promoted any political side throughout his 35-year-long acting career in the movie industry.
“Aamir has dedicated his efforts to raising public awareness through campaigns for the Election Commission for many past elections. We are alarmed now to see a recent viral video alleging Mr Khan is promoting a particular party. He would like to clarify this is a fake and totally untrue video.” the actor’s spokesperson further clarified on his behalf.
What’s Next For Aamir Khan?
