According to a report published by The Telegraph, Aamir Khan now has been dropped from the government's road safety campaign.

Road Transport and Highways minister Nitin Gadkari reportedly had met Aamir after watching an episode of Satyamev Jayate, a TV reality show which is hosted by the actor.

It has been reported that Gadkari was impressed by Aamir who had hosted a show on road safety issues in the country. The minister had offered the position to the actor who was signed as the brand ambassador for the road safety campaign in Dec 2014.

Following his meeting with Gadkari, Aamir reportedly agreed to feature in ads for the road safety campaign free of cost.

Aamir, who has played the role of ambassador of Incredible India campaign for last 10 years, has been dropped as the mascot of the campaign.

The actor, however, said he respects the government's decision to "discontinue" his services while making it clear that he never charged anything for the task.

The tourism ministry, who faced tremendous criticism for the action against Aamir, clarified that they had not hired the actor but had left it to an agency to do that.
