New Delhi (Vishvas News): A video of actor Aamir Khan is going viral amid the ongoing controversy over objectionable comments made on the YouTube show ‘India’s Got Latent’. In the video, Khan appears to criticise inappropriate comments made during the show. Users are sharing this video, claiming that Khan is expressing his displeasure over the objectionable comments made by Ranveer Allahabadia on ‘India’s Got Latent’ and presenting the video as recent.
However, Vishvas News, in its investigation, found that this video is from 2015, when Aamir Khan attended the ‘Youth for Governance 2015’ program. His statements were about the ‘AIB Knockout Show’, not ‘India’s Got Latent’. The video has no connection with the recent events and is being misrepresented.
