Snapdeal releases official statement on Aamir Khan controversy
In a statement shared by Snapdeal, addressing the controversy that their brand ambassador, actor Aamir Khan is involved in, the brand said, "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. Everyday 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.”

It all began when speaking at the Ramnath Goenka Excellence in Journalism Awards, a few days back, Khan said, "When I chat with Kiran at home, she says, 'Should we move out of India?' That's a disastrous and big statement for Kiran to make. She fears for her child. She fears what the atmosphere around us will be. She feels scared to open the newspapers every day. That does indicate that there is this sense of growing disquiet, there is growing despondency apart from alarm."
Following his statement Snapdeal started to get a one star rating on its app on Google Play.
