On Monday, actor, director and producer Khan told a journalism awards ceremony organised by The Indian Express newspaper that a sense of “insecurity” and “fear” had been growing in India.

With numerous open letters being written to the actor, Aamir Khan yesterday cleared the air about his statement. During that event he said: “Kiran (wife) and I have lived all our life in India”.
