Aamir Khan Productions' social media pages ran an apology clip after Laal Singh Chaddha tanked at the box office. While some sided with the actor, others felt his account might have been hacked.
Cinephiles had high expectations from Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha. Sadly, the film tanked at the box office and incurred losses like never before. So much so, that apparently Aamir decided to waive his acting fee to compensate for producers’ loss. In fact, the film received much flak online and offline due to varied reasons. On September 1, an apology video saying ‘michami dukkadam', meaning ‘may all my improper actions be inconsequential’, was posted on Aamir Khan Productions’ social media pages. While some said they accept his apology, others felt his account was hacked.
Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha was a box office disaster. The actor, who had spoken about pressing issues such as South vs Bollywood and the boycott trend, hasn’t reacted to the film tanking at the box office yet. However, on September 1, an apology clip saying ‘michami dukkadam' was posted on his Instagram page.
The words in Hindi can be roughly translated to “We are all humans and we only make mistakes. Sometimes through our words, sometimes with our actions, sometimes unknowingly, sometimes out of anger, sometimes jokingly, and sometimes by not talking. If I have ever hurt you in any way, I request your forgiveness.” Shah Rukh Khan’s Kal Ho Naa Ho theme played in the backdrop as the words kept appearing. A voice read out the words appearing on the screen, though it was not of Aamir’s.
