In the advertisement, Aamir moves into Kiara’s house after their wedding so that the newlyweds can tend to her ailing father. The ad aims to break traditional stereotypes where the bride is expected to move into her husband’s house. “Welcome Damaad ji,” Kiara’s mother says in the video.
However, this didn’t go down too well with netizens and the hashtag #AamirKhan_Insults_HinduDharma began trending on Twitter on Wednesday. ‘The Kashmir Files’ director Vivek Agnihotri tweeted, “I just fail to understand since when Banks have become responsible for changing social & religious traditions? I think @aubankindia should do activism by changing corrupt banking system. Aisi bakwaas karte hain fir kehte hain Hindus are trolling. Idiots (sic).”
