Snapdeal faces #appwapsi heat over Aamir Khan’s intolerance remark

Snapdeal is facing people’s blunt ire on Twitter over Aamir Khan’s remarks on controversial subject of ‘whether India is becoming increasingly intolerant’ at an award show. e-commerce giant, who roped in Bollywood star to promote its #DilkiDeal campaign, is getting one-star rating on Google PlayStore for its app and a large number of Snapdeal app uninstalls are being reported.

While speaking at the the Ramnath Goenka Excellence in Journalism Awards podium Aamir Khan Said: “Kiran and I have lived all our lives in India. For the first time, she said, should we move out of India? That’s a disastrous and big statement for Kiran to make to me. She fears for her child. She fears about what the atmosphere around us will be. She feels scared to open the newspapers everyday. That does indicate that there is a sense of growing disquiet.”

Soon after this comment, twitterati in India took Mr. Khan to task and started aggresively bashing Bollywood’s Mr. Perfectionist on the social media platform. Some of the fuming netizens demanded Snapdeal to sack him as its brand ambassador. Some of the users also cancelled their existing orders in protest.

Some people also demanded for a similar reaction for other brands which the Bollywood actor endorses.
