Hindustan Times had reported how a viral video started the speculation. In the video, it was claimed that the Fanaa actor sent a ration truck to a slum area and the residents were told that they could only take one bag each.
People later found INR 15000 in the wheat sacks, except the video didn’t specify where. So did it even happen?
The PK actor has denied the rumors making rounds on Facebook. He asserts that it must be some other guy behind this huge gesture, but surely it’s not from him. Afterall he would know if it was.
He asserted that maybe the man netizens are looking for, just wants to keep a low profile.
“Guys, I am not the person putting money in wheat bags. Its either a fake story completely, or Robin Hood doesn’t want to reveal himself! Stay safe. Love. A.”

Then there were demands that Aamir Khan can take this as a suggestion and make it happen, IRL.

Safe to say this might not have happened because it’s not really possible. Normally when cash donations are made, they are handed to the people directly to ensure they actually get the money. Leaving money in wheat bags doesn’t sound like a good idea.
