MUMBAI: A video claiming that Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan made a surprise monetary donation to the underprivileged in a unique way has surfaced online and is going viral.
The TikTok video, which has not been verified, claims that Aamir sent a truck with bags of wheat flour (atta) packets, to be distributed among the needy. It states that on April 23 the truck arrived in Delhi in an underprivileged area amid the continued COVID-19 crisis. The vehicle was loaded with one-kilo packets of flour.

While many refused to take the packets because they felt one kilo would hardly serve any purpose in their families, the video mentions that those that took the packets were surely in for a surprise.
Within each packet of flour, it turns out there was Rs 15,000 hidden in cash.
Claiming that Aamir was behind the special gesture, the anchor of the TikTok video said in this way Aamir ensured that the cash reached the really needy people because only those that were absolutely hard pressed would line up for only one kilo of flour.
The authenticity of the video or the incident has not been established yet.
