Aamir Khan and the crew of his upcoming movie Laal Singh Chaddha were criticised for littering Wakha village in Ladakh after the shoot. Aamir, in particular, was accused of having double standards as he speaks of environmental cleanliness but in reality, he polluted the beautiful land of Ladakh.

“This is the gift Bollywood star Amir Khan’s upcoming movie Lal Singh Chada has left for the villagers of Wakha in Ladakh. Amir Khan himself talks a lot about environmental cleanliness at Satyamev Jayate but this is what happens when it comes to himself,” wrote a Twitter user named Jigmat Ladakhi and shared the clip wherein one can see the plastic bottles spread across the area.

After the video went viral, people started sharing their opinions. Some felt these were just rumours while some said that Aamir’s team should clean the place every day.

Now, Aamir Khan and his team have denied all these allegations in a statement. In the statement, Aamir Khan Productions team said, "To whomsoever it may concern: AKP (Aamir Khan Productions) would like to clarify that as a company we follow strict protocols for cleanliness in and around our shooting spaces. We have a team which makes sure that the location is kept trash-free at all times. At the end of the day there is a re-check 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 that they like," the statement added. 

Replying to a statement shared by the team, Jigmat Ladakhi took to Twitter and wrote, “Our main concern was to protect the fragile environment of Ladakh not to defame anyone. I tweeted on the basis of eye witnesses of many people who went to the location to see the shooting but many of them came home with sad eyes. The video itself is the proof.” He also added, “However, the area has now been cleaned. Yesterday, from what we got to know, the crew members cleaned the entire area after the video went viral on social media. We want to thank the national media and Amair Khan production for taking a great step towards cleanliness drive.”
