Aamir Khan Denies Endorsing Congress Ahead of Lok Sabha Elections 2024

Recent reports suggesting that Bollywood actor Aamir Khan has endorsed the Congress party ahead of the Lok Sabha Elections 2024 are unfounded. A viral video circulating on social media, which appears to feature Aamir Khan endorsing the Congress party, has been revealed to be a manipulated clip.

In the edited video, Aamir Khan is heard mentioning terms like "15 lakh" and "Jumla," seemingly echoing criticisms against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) made by the Congress party. However, Khan's spokesperson has clarified that the actor has never endorsed any political party throughout his 35-year career.

Aamir Khan's office has taken legal action by filing a First Information Report (FIR) against an unknown person regarding the forged video. The FIR was registered under sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the Information Technology Act.

The original video clip was from Khan's TV show "Satyamev Jayate," where he addressed various social issues across India. The manipulated version falsely portrays Khan discussing a sum of ₹15 lakh in people's bank accounts, which was not part of the original content.

In light of these developments, it's essential to verify information before sharing it to prevent the spread of misinformation, especially during sensitive times such as elections.
