Mumbai – An advertisement for ‘CEAT Tyre’ by actor Aamir Khan is being aired. Aamir Khan tells a boy, ‘If our team wins, we will burst the firecrackers like pomegranate, twine bomb, and earth wheel; but not on the road. The roads are not for fireworks, but for driving. So we will burst firecrackers, but in the premises of the society, and not on the streets.’ Aamir Khan is being called ‘anti-Hindu’ and the question is asked, ‘Are these roads for namaz?’ It has also called for a boycott of Aamir Khan and CEAT Tyre.

One person wrote on social media that people in the Hindi film industry always target Hindu festivals, yet Hindus watch their films.
Harsh Goenka, the owner of CEAT Tyres, has also been criticised by many. He is called ‘Hindophobic’.
One wrote, “I’m going to change the CEAT tyres of my four-wheeler and put the tyres of another company.” Not only that, he is going to tell other people to do the same.
