After slapaamir -- a website that gave people a chance to virtually slap Bollywood star Aamir Khan -- there's a new website, kissaamir -- and as the name suggests, it allows people to virtually kiss the actor.
Amidst the controversy sparked by the actor for his stand against growing intolerance in India, the country’s right-wing Hindu party Shiv Sena announced a reward of INR01 million to anyone who slaps him.
Someone made a website where you can slap Aamir Khan
While this real-life challenge seems nearly impossible, two Indians, Himanish Ashar and Dhvani Shah, dared to take up the risk virtually.
The students of Miami Ad School, took a dig at Shiv Sena by creating a website slapaamir where you could literally try your hand as many times as you want.
The disclaimer on the website read that it’s for “creative and humour purposes only and doesn't represent any political views of the people involved.”
Growing intolerance: My wife suggested we leave India, says Aamir Khan
To be on the safe side, the message concluded with strong words: “Please be tolerant of our humour.”
However, after receiving much backlash from people for spreading hate, the website now redirects to a better, more 'tolerant' cause -- kissaamir.
The new message reads "More Love. Less Slaps." and the disclaimer has been updated to "Kissaamir.com is for love and fun purposes only and represents kindness and kisses only. Please spread the tolerance of our love only."
Sedition case filed against Aamir Khan
The actor's face changes after every virtual kiss. Go ahead, start spreading the love.
