  • When Fanaa was banned in Gujarat, @AnupamPkher must have asked his wife to leave the movie.

    I Stand With Aamir Khan

  • No country is perfect coz every society has GOOD, BAD and UGLY people. If u cherish goodness, condemn badness too.

    I Stand With Aamir Khan

  • Aamir Khan perhaps first time getting the heat in this kind of form.
    He was trying to be smart but oversmartness harms. The way he is thrashed by people on social sites is acceptable.
    I am happy with the people stand. We were the same who supports Aamir when he made PK, even though the movie was more towards Hindu religion misbelieves, but we are thrashing him if he said something in manner to degrade our country pride. We have proved that we are Hindu by culture and our Religion is Indian. Hats off.
    Also many Muslims and other community also not supported his beliefs too and we are thankful to them also.

  • What aamir wants from us — we should become more tolrent and try to giving chance to another babar or sikandar or england to rule on us? how intellegent you are? that’s why i was against k because it showed our hindu dharm in wrong manner without any positivities. What is need of this kind of humor when it hurts thousands years religious practice of someone.Its my request to his fans don’ttry to save him in his wrong statememts because you are not his ghulam. Love for raja hindustani, rang de basanti, lagaan etc. but hate for pk.

  • Some people are too dumb to even realise what he has said. They are just targeting him for something he hasn’t even claimed. Whenever a ‘Khan’ makes a statement, its been blown out of proportion. He never said anything bad about the country. All he said was that his wife does not feel safe and is concerned about the rising intolerance in the nation which makes her ‘think’ if they should be moving to a different country to which Aamir has expressed that he finds it disturbing that his wife feels this way. Modi bhakts have just become a bunch of ignorant people just like Anupam Chachu who is nothing but a PR of Narendra Bhai Modi.
    Grow Up people, learn to respect someone’s point of view and ‘understand’ the complete picture.

  • Paris attacks take place, hundreds are killed: Silence from both Aamir and SRK (holder of France highest honour)

    Yakub Menon is hanged after Supreme court verdict, thousands of Muslims gather for his funeral.. each one crying over the death of a terrorist who killed hundreds of Mumbaikars. Scariest scenes of Intolerance in India at his funeral, wasn’t India tolerant towards all such acts? Did Aamir and SRK talk about this?

    Imaginary media created intolerance: SRK says there is growing intolerance. Aamir says his wife wants to leave the country. Shame.

  • I started liking Aamir Khan from pk movie after he preached Islam to the world in a beautiful way. I think SRK and Aamir are the only people who are not afraid… Unlike Salman Khan who retraced his comments on yakhub after speaking from the heart. his father salim Khan is status and forced Salman Khan to do this..

  • @zeeshan Srk and Aamir are more popular than Big B and srk, stop it you jerk. Visit to south and asked the people how much respect and love Rajni kant commands and how Much Big B had during his peak of the career. You are just media made puppet who are far from reality. You are talking about Srk global popularity in a manner that srk and other 2 khans are hugely popular, they may be but have they still made Bollywood to comparable to other Big industry like Hollywood or Chinese films. Indian movies hardly collected 20 million $ in overseas generally barring 2-3 exception. Don’t try to be smart, on other article it was Raju hirani for 3i & pk success now Aamir has popularity outside. Bloody hypocrite. I had accepted that srk has biggest following overseas than salman &Aamir but Aamir films noe performing way better than srk at present time. But I can’t even compare them with big b& rajnikant.

  • @ syed- if you beleive only ministers can currupt and our law and order is honest then you are wrong. I personally feel we can make this british made law and order better.

  • The biggest proof of intolerance is anupam kher poking his nose in all the comments… He is just acting like a pimp to the bjp.. Since his wife is a bjp minister…

    What Aamir and srk trying to say is, when some people take the law in their hands and kill innocents and still the elected people could not take action on them… Indirectly you are giving a message that their actions are correct.. And hence all the people are raising their voice against intolerance…

  • @syed you’re just a fake profile who is trying to spread hatred .. Aren’t you ?
    @neeraj so what exactly are you worried about ? India or France ? Why are you giving this a religious angle ? SRK or Aamir did not even mention anything about religion .. So what’s your point ? Intolerance is when Beef is banned in the country but funnily India is actually the largest exporter of Beef in the ‘world’. Doesn’t that hurt your sentiments ? Another funny part is that the company which provides the largest share in beef export is that of a ‘Jain’. All these things are fine but when beef was found in the house of a Muslim man (whose son serves the nation in Indian Navy and mind you that wasn’t even beef) he gets lynched by a ‘tolerant’ mob. Funny ? Ehh ! A ‘Khan’ expresses himself on the current situation of the country and he gets termed as ‘Pak’ agent. Who has given them the right to do so ? A few thugs who haven’t achieved anything themselves name calling personalities who have represented India and made the country proud globally. Your comment is even more stupid than Anupam Chachu’s tweets. & your level of intellect is similar to ‘andh-bhakts’. I won’t be surprised if you hit back calling me a ‘Pak’ agent too. Get well soon Mamu :)

  • Take what he has said optimistically. Encourage him not to generalize things as a whole instead of harshly criticizing him on twitter. Aamir Khan is a human being and hence prone to errors.
    Bad people exist in every society. We should not blame all just because of the few.
    Open your arms!
    Spread your love!

  • 26/11 happens and Kiran Rao doesn’t want to leave India…

    something mysterious changes in the last 6-8 months!

    Shame!

  • No comments because I didn’t know about India but Mr.Amir Khan… if you growing intolerance in India then welcome to Myanmar after you understand what is growing intolerance. You can ask your Myanmar brother about intolerance. I never expected from you Amir Khan but that your opinion, your life. Warmly welcome to Myanmar more more more growing growing growing intolerance intolerance intolerance…!

  • @sky so your replying me on a fresh article here so that your comment gets enough ‘views’ .. Okay Glory Hunter.
    Secondly its evident how ‘naive’ you are as you have termed me a ‘jerk’ whereas in reality I did not even pass a single personal comment against you. It was just a rhetorical reply to your stupid comment on the other article. Yes I also mentioned in one of the articles that PK and 3 idiots were big success because of Hirani that doesn’t mean I’m taking any credit away from Aamir, it was only for stupid fans who claim Aamir should be getting all the credit for those films. Lastly you’re just repeating what I had claimed. Rajni is only a phenomena in the south and you are repeating the exact same thing. Are you sane even ? & how does my comment make me a ‘media made puppet’ (God bless your Grammar) or maybe your level of English language is just ‘ways too highs’. Sky you are high .. Take a break.

  • After this statement Aamir will face a lot of negativity which is right because people are hurt by his statement . Not only Hindus but many Muslims have started criticizing Aamir as they feel completely safe and secure in India . Some people are saying this is his opinion and we should not feel offended but such a statement is disturbing and extremely disappointing . Some people are saying the statement of Khans are blown out of proportion . I do not agree with this because even the smallest of things get the maximum publicity and limelight because of Khans . So if they make a controversial statement they are bound to receive criticism . India has always been tolerant for many many years and we do not need the certificate of Superstars to prove India is Tolerant . I am happy to see people on Indicine are posting their comments with honesty without thinking whether they are fans of Aamir or not . It is great to see people do not support their favourite superstars blindly . Expecting situation to be solved as soon as possible .

  • An information for all of you guys this decade’s highest footfall getter bajrangi bhaijaan watched by only 2% indians so if pk earned 340 crore in India.doesn’t mean whole india is agree with each and every point of movie.
    In my opinion it was 20% good but 80% bad.
    Movie buzz don’t have much knowledge of religions so how can we expect any good things from them.

  • @sayed:
    Aamir & pk was not spreading Islam or any religion you moron, get lost…

    @yuvraj:
    From where did Hinduism, Islam, Babar, Sikender etc come here??? Did Aamir say anything against Hinduism or he praised Islam??? Why are you trying to communilise it???

  • @sky and i hv lost respect for u after reading ur comments on intolerance debate.

    and ppl questioning aamir for suddenly being cynical should realise that he had hosted a show called SATYAMEV JAYATE under UPA. Govt where often govt actions were criticised.

    so amir has always been a socially awake person and he has nothing personal against BJP.

    in fact he said all these in front of BJP MPs including Arjun Jaitely who was even chatting with Amir a few minutes bfr his speech…!!!!

    so Respect everyones opinion instead of callously saying
    He is anti bjp. Anti national. …

    and amir with his statement nvr meant that he wants to leave India but that was just an emotional response from his wife which he shared

    obviously aamir is a proud Indian. U morons hv no right to question his patriotism.

  • There is lot of difference between SRK’s statement and Aamir’s. SRK never critizised India, he talked about present situation in world…..

  • I suggest all the morons questioning Aamir’s patriotism and secularism to watch the full interview. He badly bashed ISIS and other Islamic terrorist groups..

  • @syed agree with your points about Anupam Chacu but I can’t stop myself from condemning your 1st topic. Same thing to you mate, why are we dragging religion into this for God’s sake ? I expect you not to behave like andh bhakts of Narendra Bhai Modi and avoid making such statements.
    God Bless !

  • I fought for you several times against srk, akshay and hr fans in the
    past

    You’re undoubtedly one of the greatest actor but when it comes to our country then nothing is bigger and more important than country’s pride and you have maligned our country

    SHAME ON YOU GO GET OUT OF INDIA AND TAKE SRK WITH YOU

    one more thing if tomorrow SULTAN SALMAN disrespects India I’ll bash him but hopefully it won’t happen
