Bollywood needs to change its portrayal of women: Aamir Khan - Page 4

I think Aamir's heroines in the movies have had ample roles to do... Rani, Kareena in Talaash were really good, so was Kareena in 3 Idiots where the other 2 boys also got good screen time... And to be honest, if there is anything I want to remember from Dhoom 3 it's Kamli. 😳
And if I'm not wrong, Aamir did say that he felt Katrina's role was short or that it could've been longer.. I remember reading that somewhere. 😊

messenger counts when its not some layman but public figure like Aamir ! As viewer of show , i couldnt believe when someone told me he took 3 crores for show ...he talks about poverty n here he charges so much for a show...he tlks about doctors n how they should do their duty ! what abt him .??? ... chargin for show tat helps creates awareness ! i dont find it right ...its my opinion !!

i started watchin the show becoz of aamir ...becoz he has always stood for right things ...but chargin for show like this n that to 3 crores ...disappointing !

Regarding the messenger part..i personally agree that message more important then te one giving it

but when someone like Salman sends a positive msg be it on women or anything he gets brat bricks thrown at him how etc,,then too one should see the msg not the messenger imo!!

Other interesting thing was on cremes that he thinks it wrong on celebs who endorse it lol!!

Yes. If anyone does something positive, the positive act must be appreciated. But it doesn't erase their other mistakes. Same thing in Aamir's case. People can question him for hypocrisy, but the message must not be lost.

BUT Why bring Salman in an Aamir topic? Explain this principle in the Salman topics. This is what irks a lot of people. Salman fans link him in everything. If fans just tried to stop thinking about Salman once, then most people wouldn't get so irritated.

Its the message that counts...How much Aamir receives is between him and the producers...What difference does it make to anyone if the same SJ was telecast with Aamir not being paid anything...How will that make even an IOTA of difference?? I am unable to get that...Do you think that the people who got pissed off with Aamir because he exposed them would not be pissed off if he was unpaid...or would a set of parent who understood that they should be thankful for the baby not its gender...would have understood it better if Aamir was unpaid? How does Aamir's getting paid or not make a difference to the audience watching it??

who wouldn't laugh/mock

Salman, if he preaches about 'Blackbuck Conservation'

SRK, if he preaches about 'How smoking is dangerous to health'

Ajay Devgan, if he preaches about 'how to make a married life happy & successful'

IMO message ke saath saath messenger is also important. one should practice what they convey/preach.

oh yeah, and its all Aamir's fault that heroines dont get paid equally and dont have central roles in BW. That issue was way b4 Aamir was born. So he has to become like a tv series "heros" who dont have nothing to do but go to office and come home to sleep? So that his msg can be heard?

Be the part of group but to pretend one to be different, accuse the same group.

The question is what constitute the majority of bollywood today ?Certainly starting from Amir -srk-salman-akhaya-ajaya to saif . All are part of playing to role of decider script for movie, cast, so also association of own production house or in terms of sharing profit with the maker. If you ask anyone, all of them will say the same thing but atlast shows strip of kamli in the name of main lead 😆
