Respect govt decision, India incredible with or without me: Aamir Khan

Respect govt decision, India incredible with or without me: Aamir Khan

New Delhi, Jan 7 (UNI) Bollywood actor Aamir Khan today said he respects the government's decision a day after Tourism Minister Mahesh Sharma said the actor was no longer the 'Incredible India' brand ambassador as the contract of the agency that hired him had expired. "I respect the decision of the government to discontinue with my services. It is the prerogative of the government to decide whether they need brand ambassador for any campaign, and if so, who that ambassador should be,’’Aamir said in a statement. The actor said whether or not he is a brand ambassador of the 'Incredible India' campaign, India will remain incredible. "Whether I am brand ambassador or not, India will remain Incredible, and that's the way it should be,’’ Aamir said. After a day of confusion over whether Aamir is a part of the 'Incredible India' campaign of the government, Dr Sharma last night said the actor was no longer a part of the project as the contract of the agency that had hired him has expired. 'Our contract was with the McCann Worldwide agency for ‘Atithi Devo Bhava’ campaign. The agency had hired Aamir for the job. Now the contract with the agency is over,' Dr Sharmà said. 'Ministry did not hire Aamir. It was the agency which had hired him. Since the contract with the agency is no more, automatically the arrangement with the actor no longer exists,” the Minister said.
