Aamir Khan Productions releases an apologetic video; Fans inquire, ‘Account hacked?’

Laal Singh Chaddha, directed by Aamir Khan, was much anticipated by moviegoers. Sadly, the movie failed miserably at the box office and suffered unprecedented losses. In fact, the film received much flak online and offline due to varied reasons.

Recently an apology video saying ‘michami dukkadam’, meaning ‘may all my improper actions be inconsequential’, was posted on Aamir Khan Productions’ social media pages.

In the video, a voice was heard saying, as words appeared on a black screen, “All of us are human beings and we only make mistakes. Sometimes through our words and sometimes by our actions, at times we do it without knowing and at times when we are angry.”

It also added, “We also hurt people with our jokes and sometimes without talking. If I have hurt your feelings in any way ever then I ask for your forgiveness with my heart, promise and being.” The video ended with ‘Michami Dukkadam’. The theme from actor Shah Rukh Khan’s film Kal Ho Na No played as the background music.

While a section of netizens empathised with the apology clip posted on Aamir Khan Productions’ page, others felt that his account might have been hacked.

Reacting to the video, a person tweeted, “Hacked For Sure!! Didn’t expect this from Aamir…the voice ain’t his.” Another fan commented, “This account is hacked for sure.” “Hack ho gaya kya account (Has the account been hacked)?” asked another Twitter user. “As always, every year, Aamir says Micchaami Dukkadam, the Jain sorry. This time, voiced — by who?” asked another fan.

However, several social media users also showed their support for Aamir Khan. “We love you Aamir Sahab you will come back stronger,” a fan wrote. “It’s not like that sir…. It’s just some misunderstandings on some very critical topics…. Please don’t feel like that… I know how U are feeling right now… I just want to let you know you are worth a lot…! Never give up!” added another.

Earlier media reports claimed that the superstar is on a two-month break and is holidaying in the US. He will start his next film after he is back in Mumbai following his break.

Talking about Laal Singh Chaddha, helmed by Advait Chandan, it is the official Hindi remake of the 1994 Hollywood classic, Forrest Gump. It also stars Kareena Kapoor, Mona Singh and Naga Chaitanya.
