Anupam Kher Has A Series Of Questions For Aamir Khan
“She fears for her child, she fears about what the atmosphere around us will be”, the actor had said on Monday.
Earlier another Bollywood superstar, Shah Rukh Khan, was also lashed at when he opened up on the growing intolerance in India.
A day after speaking his mind over the intolerance comments, a case was filed against Bollywood hero Aamir Khan for commenting upon the “Intolerance in India” that hurt many across the nation.
Oscar-winning composer A.R. Rahman on Tuesday said the intolerance debate in India is becoming “chaotic”, adding “we should set an example by resorting to non-violent ways to protest”. In the last 6-8 months, there has been a growing sense of despondency. “Conflicting narratives over Award Wapsi suggest that India is a tolerant nation”.
Actor, director and producer Khan told a ceremony organised by The Indian Express newspaper that a sense of “insecurity” and “fear” had been growing in India.
E-commerce marketplace Snapdeal’s app is getting a rash of one star ratings on its app on Google Play today, due to a recent statement made by its brand ambassador Aamir Khan.
“Instead of branding all those who question the Govt & Modiji- as unpatriotic, anti national or “motivated”, the Govt would do better to reach out to people to understand what’s disturbing them”.
BJP Minister of State for Minority Affairs Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi and a number of other leaders snapped back saying that they suspected a Congress hand behind the actor’s statements – “which appear to have been made under influence”.
While the actor’s statement received a mixed response from everyone, veteran actor Anupam Kher has lashed out at Aamir for giving such a statement.
“Extremist incidents in India are alarm bells”.
Dear @aamir_khan. Did you ask Kiran which country would she like to move out to? If this country was intolerant then Aamir Khan would not have been a star, ‘ Pandit told ANI.
“There is a sense of peace and brotherhood in the country, which can not be compared with any part of the world”, he said.
