While many refused to take the packets because they felt one kilo would hardly serve any purpose in their families, the video mentioned that those who took the packets were 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 money reached the really needy people because only those who were absolutely hardpressed would line up for just one kilo of flour.
However, as said earlier, Aamir denied being "Robin Hood" behind the reported kind act.
