Ever since Aamir Khan made his statements regarding his wife’s concerns about their child’s future in India due to ‘growing intolerance’, the start hero’s words have been blown out of proportion and flared temperaments of many angry netizens and political leaders.
Since yesterday, netizens have been trending #AppWapsi and #BootOutSnapDeal on social media, demanding the e-commerce giant to withdraw Aamir Khan as its brand ambassador. More than 1 lakh Snapdeal customers uninstalled the Snapdeal apps from their smartphones and claimed that they will never buy on Snapdeal as a protest.
Responding to the whole controversy, Snapdeal on Wednesday released an official email statement to media in which it said that the comments made by the actor were “in his personal capacity and the company has no connection in it.”
Here’s the full text of Snapdeal’s official email statement:
“Snapdeal is neither connected nor plays a role in comments made by Aamir Khan in his personal capacity. Snapdeal is a proud Indian company built by passionate young Indians focused on building an inclusive digital India. Every day we are positively impacting thousands of small businesses and millions of consumers in India. We will continue towards our mission of creating one million successful online entrepreneurs in India.’
Flipkart Supports Snapdeal:
Amid the mindless mayhem, Snapdeal received welcoming support from its main competitor and the country’s biggest e-commerce player Flipkart. Expressing his solidarity to Snapdeal, Flipkart’s founder Sachin Bansal tweeted, “This is a flawed logic. Brands don’t buy into brand ambassadors personal opinions. @snapdeal shouldn’t face this.”
