In a video, Aamir is seen holding the vada and pav. He applies chutney and adds a fritter to the bun. He then smiles, looking at the camera, as someone says that he is making the snack.
Aamir said, "Aare hari mirch nahi hai na? Ek main hari mirchi utha raha hoon (There is no green chilli, right? I'm taking one from here)." A huge crowd had gathered around Aamir and was capturing videos and pictures. For the task, Aamir was seen in a brown T-shirt and denims. The video was shot as part of the promotions for his upcoming film, Sitaare Zameen Par.
Reacting to the video, a person said, "With all his recent flops, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he started selling vada pav next." A comment read, "No food-grade gloves?" "Eww, he is making it without any gloves," an Instagram user said. "Nobody can beat his promotional strategy," commented another person. Another comment read, 'This is compulsory ahead of a movie release.'
