it saddens me that one cannot even express his views..and if he does..his posters and burned and what now. Thank you India for proving exactly what he was saying. How INTOLERANT..some one says a mere thing and we see his posters being burned. So India is only tolerant to those saying it is the best place ever? any one who raises his voice on any issue or highlighting any negative aspect..he should be kicked out? Wow

i am sorry but this nation is intolerant and 70% of population living there is the proof of it..until these people don't stop with the threats and burning of posters of anyone who even raises a voice on any issue..i see no hope

the recent episode of fawad and mahira not being allowed to shoot in mumbai again only emphasises how intolerant is India. Shame!!

P.S: yes pakistan is worse..and yes i admit it being a pakistani..i don't want to be deluded..but just because India is better there..it still is intolerant..and the first step in changing it would be when people realize that and change themselves

I don't get it. I mean he needs to have the freedom of speech to voice his opinions doesn't he? It's a human right. It's really sad that people misquote and judge a celebrity's opinion and label them for holding an opinion

I've been living with the civil war in my country and thankfully it ended after 20 odd years recently and there was never a day I didn't feel so helpless with bombs exploding in my country and we were taught how to react or rather defend ourselves during explosions at schools. I will never forget those dark days when my mom and dad were outside the school gate whenever an explosion happened in Colombo. Everybody who could afford fled from the country and you cannot blame them or call them as cowards. It's their human instinct and human right to go somewhere safer. Just an example to express my opinion to say Aamir Khan too has the right to say what he feels

No one has the right to give certificate of being a deshbhakht or a traitor depending on one's personal opinion.

It works both ways.

Even India doesn't need certificate from him or his wife on whether it is tolerant, safe or worth living in or not.

The country owes nothing to him.

He (or his wife) wondered if they should live here or not. No one else started it.
