The 'PK' star had yesterday said it was an honour for him to be the brand ambassador for the Incredible India campaign for the past 10 years and added that he would always be there for the service of the nation.

At an award function in November 2015, Aamir Khan opined on the 'growing intolerance' in India issue saying that, "India was going through a state of "growing despondency", where his wife Kiran Rao "fears for her child, she fears for the atmosphere around us, she feels scared to open the newspapers every day." Amitabh Bachchan, on the other hand, is already the brand ambassador of Gujarat Tourism.
