Over the last few years, every time an Aamir Khan film gets ready for release, one particular message or meme related to him starts circulating on social media and What’s App. As you must have guessed, it’s shared by the Right Wing fanatics with an appeal to boycott his upcoming film.
With the release of Laal Singh Chaddha not being far, the same message has started circulating again.
The message claims that Aamir once said in his television show Satyamev Jayate that instead of pouring milk on Shivling, it is better to use that money to feed a poor person. Hence, the message appeals to the audience to boycott his next release and use the money you would have spent on the ticket to help the needy.
How true is the message?
The message is fake. Aamir has never said that in Satyamev Jayate. In fact, a topic related to religion or religious beliefs was never addressed in that TV show. Some messages also claim that the actor made that comment in his blockbuster PK (2014). This claim is also false.
Still, if someone can find a video of him saying such a thing, please pass it on. Not that him saying such a thing would justify the boycott, more so after you read below.
Who said it then?
Interestingly, the message against pouring milk on Shivling was given by Paresh Rawal’s character Kanjibhai in his film OMG Oh My God (2012). In fact, the character in the movie shares an in-depth and hard-hitting opinion on why it is futile to pour milk on the Shivling, as can be seen from the scene below.
But it doesn’t end here. During the promotion of the same movie, Akshay Kumar, who plays Lord Krishna in it, gave a bold personal opinion on why one shouldn’t pour milk on the Shivling. In fact, he didn’t stop at that. He also criticized the practice of pouring oil on Lord Hanuman’s deity on Saturdays. Watch the video below.
Those spreading communal hatred on the internet and social media have turned a blind eye at Rawal and Akshay’s comments. It is impossible that they are completely unaware about the comments made by these two actors, considering how much research their IT cell carries out.
But don’t expect any such boycott messages for these two actors since their surname isn’t Khan. As we all know, Rawal is also a member of the BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) and an MP (Member of Parliament). Akshay’s fondness for the party is known far and wide.
We are reminded of it every time we eat a mango.

Yes absolutely true
I think we all know the facts.
But thanks to update ignorant people who think all this will make them be a worth human!
Who says people are not boycotting akshay kumar films? You need to check that again. And moreover i have seen more people not interested in Laal singh bahadur because of bollywood boycott trend and also its a copy of a Hollywood movie, so people are just disappointed with “MR. PERFECTIONIST”
There haven’t been any campaigns against Akshay’s films. He was forced to change the title of Laxmi Bomb to Laxmi but it was nowhere near the kind of campaign and hate Aamir is seeing. And you ignored the point about Paresh Rawal. By the way, Laal Singh Chaddha is not a copy. It’s an official adaptation of the Hollywood movie. In fact, the studio that produced the original film and the Twitter handle of the original film are promoting Laal Singh Chaddha. They would have not even thought of doing it if it was a copy.
