Speculation is rife that actors Amitabh Bachchan and Priyanka Chopra have been chosen as the new faces for government’s Incredible India campaign.
Speculation is rife that actors Amitabh Bachchan and Priyanka Chopra have been chosen as the new faces for government’s Incredible India campaign. The selection of the two actors follows the Centre’s decision to discontinue the contract of actor Aamir Khan earlier this month. Khan had promoted Indian tourism for a decade as the brand ambassador.
While many saw Aamir’s removal as a consequence of his comments on the intolerance issue, tourism minister Mahesh Sharma had then said that “the contract of the agency which hired him had ended.” “It was the (private) agency which had hired him. Since the contract with the agency is no more, automatically the arrangement with the actor no longer exists,” he had said. Khan had late last year stirred a controversy after he expressed “alarm and despondency” over rising instances of intolerance in the country in the past few months and said that his wife (Kiran Rao) even asked if they should move out of India.
