MUMBAI: The Tourism Ministry has denied removing Aamir Khan as the brand ambassador of the Incredible India ad campaign.

In response to media reports citing that Khan would no longer be endorsing the campaign in light of the ‘intolerance’ controversy that broke out late last year, the Tourism Ministry has clarified that “there is no change in the stand of the ministry in this matter.” 

The Ministry further clarified that at present it had a contractual agreement with creative agency McCann Worldwide to produce social awareness campaign and the said campaign featured Khan.

It may be recalled that at a public event last year, Khan said that his wife Kiran Rao fears for the safety of their child and was mulling the option of leaving the country.

However, as of now it looks as if Khan will continue to be the face of the Incredible India brand campaign.
