    Aamir Khan’s team denies littering village while shooting ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’

    After coming under fire for allegedly littering in Ladakh while shooting Laal Singh Chaddha, Aamir Khan’s production house has issued an official statement debunking the allegations.

    In a statement released on Aamir Khan Productions’ (AKP) official Instagram handle, the makers of the film stated that none of the accusations against the actor and his crew are true and that they are taking utmost care about keeping the environment clean.

    The statement read, “To whomsoever, it may concern, AKP would like to clarify that as a company we follow strict protocols for cleanliness in and around our shooting spaces. We have a team that makes sure that the location is kept trash-free at all times. At the end of the day, there`s a recheck of the entire location. At the end of the entire schedule, we make sure that when we leave a location, we leave it as clean or cleaner than we found it.”

    “We believe that there are some rumours/allegations about our location not being kept clean. We strongly deny such claims. Our location is always open to relevant local authorities to carry out checks anytime they like,” concluded the statement released by Khan’s production house.

    A social media user by the username Jigmat Ladakhi had earlier shared a video on Twitter, showing the entire area littered with used plastic bottles. He criticised the “gift” Khan’s film had “left for the villagers of Wakha in Ladakh”.

    He even pointed out that the actor propounds environmental cleanliness on his social awareness show Satyamev Jayate. The user wrote, “This is the gift Bollywood star Aamir Khan’s upcoming movie Laal Singh Chaddha has left for the villagers of Wakha in Ladakh. Aamir Khan himself talks big about environmental cleanliness at Satyamev Jayate but this is what happens when it comes to himself.” The film reunites Aamir and Kareena Kapoor Khan, who last worked together in 3 Idiots.

    Meanwhile, it was reported earlier that Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan will also appear in cameo roles in the upcoming film. Being the most anticipated release of this year, the movie is slated to hit the big screens at Christmas.

    The shoot of the film was halted in March as the main lead, Aamir, got infected with Covid-19. After his recovery and control of the second wave in India, the shoot has started again.

    Months after celebrity couple Kareena and Saif welcomed their younger son, his name is finally revealed by the Ki and Ka diva’s father. The Agent Vinod pair have named their child, Jeh.

    Heroine’s actress and Hum Tum actor are yet to reveal Jeh’s face in its entirety due to privacy reasons.

    Speaking to an Indian media outlet, the veteran actor Randhir Kapoor said, “Yes, Kareena and Saif’s younger son has been named Jeh”. He added that the name was finalised “about a week ago”.

    Upon Taimur’s birth, Kareena and Saif were trolled online for the choice of their baby’s name. Many believed he was named after the Turkish invader of the same name. Kareena and Saif have insisted that Taimur means ‘iron’ in Persian, which is what they were going for.

    According to reports, Jeh in Latin means ‘blue crested bird.’ Kareena had also revealed earlier that Saif wanted to name their first son ‘Faiz’ since it had poetic connotations.
