Zee Media Bureau

New Delhi: They might be business rivals and might have hit out at each other in the past, but on Wednesday Flipkart founder Sachin Bansal came to the rescue of Snapdeal which came under fire following its ambassador Aamir Khan's statement on intolerance in India.

"This is a flawed logic. Brands don't buy into brand ambassadors personal opinions. @snapdeal shouldn't face this," Bansal, the co-founder and CEO of Flipkart tweeted.
