  • Dont agree with Amir. India is a very tolerant country. One proof is that it is in India that movies such as Ready, Bodyguard and Dabang 2 are not only tolerated but also made blockbusters. Is there any other country in the entire world where the fans would make such crap movies a blockbuster?

  • @saksham so acc to you if Khans are bound to receive criticism so is the government, that’s what the point is, the government right now is not capable of managing things given the recent instances. Why there were no intolerance discussions prior to Narendra Bhai Modi’s governance. Where was Anupam Chachu all these years ? Why is he suddenly so active when if comes to any matter related to Politics ? Remember Narendra Bhai Modi was elected by ‘US’. So ‘WE’ have the complete right to condemn his governance. Aamir’s statements just reflect that the current government isn’t capable enough of taking control over things and have hired people like Anupam Chachu to track back when they are criticized.

  • @kalia your Sultan Salman Khan is the person who all of a sudden 1 o’clock at night tweeted claiming the ‘innocence’ of Yakub Memon. Just saying.

  • @ ank- Salman’s movies are blockbuster because he entertaines and it is tolerence of we salman fans read your kind of fool’s statements everyday.

  • @neeraj:
    Not only Khans big b, Ajay devgan etc also did not say anything on Paris attack. Why are you not questioning them??? Oh I forgot!!! They are not Muslims!!!

    Thousands of people also gathered during ashok singham funeral. Did you questions on their patriotism???

  • @ tiger- what i mean is this intolerence issue is spreading because of beaf parties. Do you know what was the first reason we indians fought against british?

  • @zeeshan lol. Hahaha I am commenting on this article and found your other comments so I replied you the same article. Regarding my grammer, yes I do mistakes in grammer and I don’t think its shameful for me. Regarding glory finder, it is just a comment section, so even if my comment published on first page or last page nothing gonna change and words remain the same. Got it. Second thing I told you jerk because of your instant double standard, you are not aware the popularity of Big B and Rajnikant. Aamir is making comments about India,Indian government on Indian platform so it addressing the people of us more than the foreigners. It been towards to the public who loves other stars more than these two also. Whatever you preach its your opinion, whatever mine its my opinion but whatever the Aamir & Srk preach, it can’t be called their personal opinions because its reach is much much more than a comman man’s word.

  • Actually India is tolerant but union government and some political parties are not tolerant.

    Union ministers & MPs are comparing Dalits with Dogs, isn’t it intolerance???

    Most of BJP leaders and union ministers are justfying the killing of Kulbargi, Davolkar and Akhlakh. Isn’t it intolerance???

    Most of the BJP leaders, chief ministers even governors are saying that Muslim must leave India and go to Pakistan. Isn’t it intolerance???

    All the scientist, artists, historians, journalists, poets who raise their voice against intolerance are taged desdrohi & pakistani agents. Isn’t it intolerance???

    Most recently they have said SRK is a Deshdrohi & Pakistani agent. Even compared him with terrorist Hafiz saeed. Isn’t it intolerance???

    Today Home ministry published a report saying more than 300 communial clashed happened in last three months. Isn’t it a symbol of intolerance???

  • And such statements give an opportunity to Pakis like @Rao to brazenly comment on india’s growing “intolerance” ..Man,better bother about your country,whole world knows where you Pakis stand..so it does’nt looks good coming from your side.

  • Aamir : what happened to u sky jee ?
    sky : I was ur biggest fan not any more !
    aamir : ur such a high retard
    sky : how high
    aamir : how high is the sky ?

  • Who is anupam kher to comment on amir’s? He is being disrespecful to aamir. Anupam kher is now politicizing this matter.

  • @Zeeshan:You very easily labelled people who are against Aamir’s statements as “Andh bhakts”!!
    Same can be said about you too.Being a muslim you may have hatred for Modi for what happened in the past but you people too are blindly supporting any lame statement that is coming across.And why should we always respect someone’s view even though it could be as awful as this?? If that’s the case then Why don’t you respect Anupam Kher’s point of view?? Why did you called him PR of Modi?

  • @zeeshan
    I didn’t agree with sultan SALMAN regarding his tweets about yakub
    I clearly said in my previous comment that nothing is bigger than India’s pride

  • @yuvraj:
    Beef includes both cow and buffalo. Do you you cow slaughter is banned in whole India barring NE India and Kerala??? Our union ministers/MPs talk whole the day about beef but do you know India has bcm the biggest exporter of world under this union government??? Indians fought against British not only for beef but also for Pork. Do you really want pork ban in India???

    BTW, what kind of beef party are you talking about which forced you to make such communial comment???

  • What i feel aamir and kiran should go on that gola from where pk came our earth. May be they feel safe there without cloth and without religion.

  • @ tiger – i am vegetarian so wanna ban from all kinds of meat but do you think pork is special for us what kind of quality he has?

  • Indicine congratulations !!!!
    u have soo many critically and emotionally
    successful polictians here in indicine ?
    all are genius in their respective ways !!!!
    they should win national awards for being easily sensitive and emotional !!

  • @ tiger – i am vegeterian so wanna ban from all kinds of meet but do you think pork is special for us what kind of quality he has?
    What i feel if we are family one should respect each others feeling and remember islam didn’t born in india. Hindu is oldest religion here.
    I read quran i found a page where this was wrote- agnipoojak ( person who worship flame) are kaafir so either include them into islam or kill them.
    What is your take on this?

  • @Javed, When I said that I am no longer an Aamirian, I am still his fan that’s why I commenting here more as it hurts me a lot. You can check my comment on srk intolerance article. They were less. I am still a Aamir fan there is no doubt about that but that doesn’t mean I can’t criticise him.

  • @sky you have become a laughing stock. Stop making a fool out of yourself. Period.
    @babaji in the comment on the other page, I did not tag you as a bhakt, it was a statement followed by the reply II had written for you. Yes people have complete right to have their say on Aamir’s statement. I’m just name calling people who are ignorant enough to defame someone’s religion (kindly refer to my previous comments on this article) talking about Anupam Chachu, he hasn’t made a statement, he has blindly criticized Aamir without any factual points. & why is Anupam Chachu all of a sudden so active in political matters ? That’s the point. Where was Anupam Chachu during Delhi Rape Case which I believe was more of a shame to our nation. Not a single tweet for him when it comes to more important topics. A Bengali writer has been getting rape threats by BJP goons, a female reporter was abused and harrased by BJP goons during Anupam Chachu’s India Is Tolerant March in Delhi. Why is Anupam Chachu mum about these incidents ? Isn’t he a hypocrite ? I hope you’ve got your answer mate.

  • @yuvraj:
    Hahahaha…Did you really read Quran??? In which verse it was written???

    I have read Mahabharata, Ramayana, Geeta etc but not found the word “Hindu” there.

    Yes Islam did not born in India. Does it mean Muslim should not live in India?? “Aryan” also came from middle Asia. Will you suggest them to go there??

    BTW, you have not answered what kind of beef party are you talking about which forced you to make such communial comment???

  • @1:35pm

    You idiot- should ppl just be boring n always say “I love India” but never do anything to improve India…? Being a patriot sometimes is standing upto the blind majority n raise the issues being faced by the small minority- raising awareness about intolerance thinking isnt a crime so let the man have his freedom to speech in peace.

    Jusr remember that its a welk known fact- criticising one self is the only way you can improve yourself- its called constructive criticism- Aamir isnt running away- he will stay n help India improve which is more than can be said of you- you seem like you are happy with the status quo- your moto is ‘if it aint broke dont fix it’ but clearly somethings not right in India at this moment of time so remedial work is needed to correct the fault…! Open discussions are needed not blind subjectivity…!

  • The saying “in a mans darkest hours he will know who his real friends are n who are not” applies to fans too- when Aamir supported Salman ‘gaurav420’ criticised Aamir n now original complan boy ‘sky’ is doing the same. Clearly these 2 clowns want Aamir to have different friends n different opinions to tge ones he currently has- in other words they want Aamir not to be free in India but live accordingly to their whims n wants…!

    Now thats intolerance towards ones right to freedom of choice, expression, faith, speech etc etc

  • @ tiger – i think i read that things in al bakrah. There was no other religion before hindu devloped from vaidik kaal so how ramayan or mahabharat’s writers need to write hindu word because evryone was hindu that time. What you are talking about arya i am sure you read from book or internet and we all know our country was not independent from 700 years so foreigners destroyed our ancient sculptures, books and other things so how can we beleive their writen books.

  • @ tiger- and this is not only for you but for all muslim what salim khan said – muslim should respect country if they wanna live in india. And what is country its about culture, peoples.

  • this is the reason y i have become a aamir devotee….i stand with each and every line of this interview…illiterates..before barking against aamir the shehanshah..first go through this interview and tell mw what wrong did he say…
