Khan was at the centre of a raging debate after he expressed “alarm and despondency” over the rise in incidents of intolerance in the country. And soon after the controversy hashtags like #Appwapsi and #SayNoToSnapDeal were trending, which downgraded the online retailer in Google Playstore.
“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,” Snapdeal said in a statement.
Also, Khan was recently dropped as the mascot of ‘Incredible India’ campaign. He was replaced by Amitabh Bachchan and Priyanka Chopra.
