Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan has now said India is a very tolerant country and has appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to stop people who spread hatred and try to break the country.
“Our country is very tolerant, but there are people who spread ill-will.. Those who speak of breaking up this vast country, such people are present in all religions, only Modiji can stop them. After all, Modiji is our PM, we have to tell him” Aamir Khan said on Rajat Sharma’s ‘Aap ki Adalat’, according to a press release by India TV.
Aamir said he had immense trust in the law of the land and added that PM Modi has already expressed his concern over negativity and hatred.
“Law is equal for all, and nobody is above law. Unfortunately, there are some people who spread negativity and hatred. If I am not wrong, our prime minister has also expressed concern. His slogan is ‘sabka saath, sabka vikas’,” he said.
“I had said in my interview that there was a sense of depression, a sense of despondency, a feeling of insecurity and intolerance was growing. But these are entirely two different things. I never said India was intolerant, I was wrongly quoted.. To say about rising intolerance and to say India is intolerant are two different things.”
About the government agency’s decision not to renew his contract as the brand ambassador of tourism in India, Aamir said “For me, my motherland is my mother, it cannot be a brand. I can never view my mother as a brand. It could be a brand for other people, but not for me. Till this date, I continue to be India’s brand ambassador, even the government may have discontinued me”
Back in November 2015, Aamir had said “As an individual, as part of this country as a citizen, we read in the papers what is happening, we see it on the news and certainly, I have been alarmed. I can’t deny. I have been alarmed by a number of incidents”
“When I chat with Kiran at home, she says ‘Should we move out of India?’ That’s a disastrous and big statement for Kiran to make. She fears for her child. She fears about what the atmosphere around us will be. She feels scared to open the newspapers every day. That does indicate that there is this sense of growing disquiet, there is growing despondency apart from alarm. You feel why this is happening, you feel low. That sense does exist in me”
Mental !
Just look at his hypocrisy !!!!
First he was saying that India is intolerant In order to damage srk’s image.
Now he is saying India is more tolerant.
He should be given Oscar for his hypocrisy .
Before some of you pounce on him again, let’s see what he said.
Aamir Khan: There is a sense of growing despondency. (Please focus on the word growing here which means increasing)
What people said: “He said whole of India is intolerant and all citizens are intolerant”.
.
.
Aamir never said any of it what media and people misquoted off him. There is a huge difference between “increasing intolerance in India” and “whole of india is intolerant” .
It is just a curious case of poor english skills and understanding.
Off course India is tolerant because dangal is releasing and I don’t want the negativity to my film like it happened with Dilwale.
Hypocrite Aamir Khan!
I agree with the title of this article. Muslims will hate this. Except ‘Jai ho’ type of gesture by you for Dangal
Uff. Not again. Intolerance/Tolerance
Well said Aamir!
Sir @aamir_khan u release #Dangal on 15 August or 26 January but BJP will do full Mangal n even I will go to each theatre to stop the shows
@javed You just poroved your lack of brains and jealousy against Aamir
SRK himself said India is Intolerant, and people boycotted his film.
@indicine
You just C+Ved the whole article from other news source, didn’t you?
Or did you yourself add this, “the actor’s this statement is in complete contrast to what he said last year”?
@javed You just proved your lack of brains and jealousy against Aamir
SRK himself said India is Intolerant, and people boycotted his film.
????? ??? ???? ??? ???? ??? ??? ?? but ???? ??? ?? ?? intolrence ??? ???? ???? ??? ?? ????? ????? ?? ???? ???? i lv my country
Backtracking I see. This is how he should have said it first time. There might be some people who spread negativity, but you can’t judge whole country due to them.
IF FAN COLLECTS WHAT INDICINE HAS PREDICTED THEN I WILL BE VERY HAPPY
BECAUSE 20CR OPENING IS VERY VERY GOOOD IN APRIL DURING IPL WITHOUT HOLIDAY
And
165cr lifetime is also very good Without EID +DIWALI+Xmas holidays
FAN IS SONGLESS And There is no Leading lady….waluscha is only limited and many don’t know who she is
So 20cr opening
And 165 lifetime is great collection for FAN
How can BJP have anything to do with this nautanki @aamir_khan who is licking their feet only for his movie Dangal!
Srk should be kicked and punished. Not just intolerance statement, he even supports Pakistani team instead of Indian and has links with Hafiz Saeed.
Expected U-turn from Aamir, now that Dilwale has released. Hope he doesn’t drop another bomb before FAN.
I hope the minority in our country wakes up and realises that the opposition is trying to divide the country on basis of caste and religion.
Whatever the current government is doing, is for everyone. They can’t only work for one section of the society. If country develops, everyone benefits.
Agreed that there are some loose mouths in BJP.. but one or two senseless statements can’t take away the good work that the government has been going.
@indicine read his earlier statement clearly
He nvr Evr called India intolerant as a nation but instead ki there r elements which is spreading intolerance. That’s exactly what he has said now. Only diff is last time his statement was pessimistic bcz ge told abt thinking abt leaving thw country bt this one is better as he has appealed to PM to stop intolerant elements. It was just a case of not properly expressed thought that had gvn opportunist ppl to bash him
sir seedha bolo Dangal release hone wali h, dekh lena… nautanki saala.
@javed
You are Pakistani, so worry about your own country’s pathetic condition and then worry about what happens in India.
@aamir_khan is Biggest Manipulator he has Takenup #Intolerance Nautanki for Sake of Publicity of his Upcoming Movie
The actor’s most recent statement is in complete contrast to what he said back in November 2015.
We all know u hypocrite !!
Now the damage to dilwale has already been done and why not u change ur colour now …!!!
I hope those bjp who were burning srk’s image and bycotting dilwale, do the same with Dangal !!!!!!
Because of him our eyes were teary !!!!!
This is the highest level of hypocrisy !!!
Hats off Aamir! You are the Best Indian.
@moron javeda afghani
What the hell are you doing here on every Aamir article?
Dilwale was the worst film of the year and suffered bcoz SRK is a dumb actor who doesn’t know how to select good scripts.
There was no relevance to what Aamir said and Dilwale’s fate.
You should be thankful to the God you pray to in your country that Dilwale at least earned a face-saving 150 crores bcoz it did not deserve a single penny bcoz of how bad the films was.
aamir u fool , everytym srk movie is up for release you have to say something controversial
i might agree with u on ur thoughts but u r timing is completely insane
Insecurity Selfishiness hypocrisy!!!!!!
Boycott PK if you want,
people boycotted PK and it crossed 300 crore.
Same thing will happen with Dangal.
@ishan Gulati, he was implying that he wanted to leave India ( only temporary hypocrisy ) so that people take some serious actions against srk’s dilwale !!!
If he is not hypocrite, then why he is trying to salvage the situation when his movie is on the line ?????
I urge everyone to watch AapKi adalat tonight at 10pm or tmrw 10AM before again jumping the gun.
Ofcourse this @moron afghani javed can’t watch bcoz he lives in some other country but speaking as if he knows everything about India.
Shame on this chameleon Aamir. Now fan is releasing and he once again starts this nautanki.
BJP should teach his Nangal a lesson.
