To all those people who are calling me anti-national, I would like to say that I am proud to be Indian, and I do not need anyone's permission nor endorsement for that.

good reply...

Shiv Sena will now award people with 1 lakh rupees to slap Amir Khan. I mean of course its not like Maharashtra has any problem such as drought that these highly patriotic and nationalist party needs to take care of. Use the money to spread more violence and negativity not like anyone is going to file a case against them for being threats to this country. Its only reserved for people who prefer words rather than violence.

More than that I think there should be a thorough screening of people and their ideologies before giving licence to them to form a party in this country. It should be a law. But expecting criminals to make law against criminals is pretty dumb on my side I guess.

I disagree with a lot of what Aamir said..I m disappointed but surely not disillusioned by him. I have not lost all respect for him.
I would never believe that Aamir is fake, manipulator or n attention seeker. He is the last person to divert any attention to himself..it is reserved for actors who like to show off. He isn't fake..rather he is someone who likes to make n effort and go to the root of issues..I m a gujju and I know his stand on narmada bachao..yes he supported the ones who lost their homes..but he met the govt. And realized they were given compensation..more than what they lost..and he saw it to the end..he did help people in bhuj after the 2001 earthquake..its a place still very dear to him.
I rather think he should..and hope he will actually talk to the govt. on this issue too.
About manipulation..a lot of people here say he took credit for other's work..
What comes to ur mind when asked about amol gupte? He is in public memory only coz of TZP..he made Stanley ka dabba after that which didn't achieve even 10% of TZP..how many even know he is n actor? All he has to his credit is TZP and then he cries Aamir didn't give him any credit..If he didn't match up to expectations it was best for Aamir to take up direction rather than settling for a sub par product or interfering by giving his inputs..and he made a masterpiece.
Peepli live would have just been a documentary if not for Aamir..his association made it mainstream..He knows what works with the audience and takes care that people get their money's worth and nobody makes losses..
Where r the directors who accused him of interference..did vikram Bhatt give anything matching up to ghulam? Look at the shit RGV makes..he gave a rangeela with aamir.
Name one successful film of John Mathew mathan after sarfarosh..or A R murugadoss after ghajini..but we remember these names coz of Aamir.
they should give credit for this to the actor.
Its been yrs since aamir's films face injustice at the awards coz he doesn't attend them. 3 idiots, DCH, RDB, PK received much less than what they deserved. Amol accepted all the awards for TZP btw.
Still Raju hirani opts to work with him again.
Sharman joshi's friend chetan bhagat accused he didn't get enough credit for 3 idiots..heck its the best film ever made on any of his books..still Sharman is friends with the trio coz he knows they r not wrong.
Aamir's friends r with him since yrs coz its not based on give n take. He is genuine..his friends r genuine. Even his ex- wife and once upon a time estranged brother..they know he is a gem.
Can't say the same about someone else who shows he is the best thing on earth but says he doesn't have any friends.
Could have made a separate post..but it would have got lost..this is a running thread..and a hit one.
Hope people notice

so PM Modi has announced there will be a debate on intolerance in parliament.
Aamir's statement did what award wapsi didn't do..which means his words hold value.
M so happy to have a govt. who listens and agrees to a debate even when it has been hated n misinterpreted so much.
I hope everyone's reservations against the govt. r removed and something good comes out of this

I disagree there are temples, churches in Pakistan. They are gurdwaras as well.



Everybody knows about lost Sikh and Hindu heritage in Pakistan. I will give you sources from Pakistani magazines and newspapers themselves on how Sikh and Hindu heritage was either destroyed by your tolerant natives or are rottinf and in need of preservation, restoration but your Govt is indifferent.

Minorities in Pakistan are in worse condition. US report on International Religious Freedom places Pakistan in worst countries for religious freedom.

Minorities also keep protesting against hate material taught in textbooks.

I can't believe Pakistanis here gleefully generalise and bash India but defend own country. Or try to use sentiments and protests of Indians to take out own hatred against India.

Does Pakistan have people from other communities as top politicians, leaders, businessmen, celebrities, army chiefs, intelligence chiefs the way India has had?

India was blamed for even renaming a damned road whereas Pakistan has lot of Sikh and Hindu heritage in ruins till date.

India is blamed for bans but no one talks about Pakistan banning a film on suggestion of a terrorist. No one talks about Pakistan banning NGOs (recent ban was on Save the Children).

These people pride themselves for welcoming Sikh pilgrims once in a year but will not talk about Sikhs who disappeared or were beheaded recently.

Christians? Pakistani Christians run an online newspaper. Anyone can read it to see what they suffer.

And what about Ahmaddiya community? Only 2 days ago a mob treated them to burnings.

These people who bash India here forgot that Pakistani writers themselves wrote articles warning India that it should not become a Hindu Pakistan or Hindu Saudi. 😆

Your country has blasphemy laws of its own whereas you guys love to mock controversies related to religious sentiments in India.

Their countries are the worst. But they want to bash others or equate 70% India with their country. 😆

Keep ranting India is unsafe, intolerant while your artists clamour to work here. And the Khans who you paint minority victims don't even feel that way and still want to remain in India. 😆

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

👏

What a joke! 😆

Intolerance debate has been going on for a long time now and it was always going to be debated. Especially after mass return of awards by writers, artists, singers and international media questioning Modi over this at press confs abroad.

It is not your Aamir who made this happen or due to whom Modi decided to debate this in Parliament.

Fans think there faltu celebs run the world! 😆
