But I thought he left her?


Don't know who did..they just grew apart..

Aamir is my all time fav actor..sad to see his personal n professional life in a mess.

He went wrong somewhere and needs to introspect

I wouldn't worry


He has the money and the means... He can recover. It's just a phase I think

Everyone has to go thru this, even AB Sr, Marlon Brando etc went thru this


And he won't have any problem getting a teesri, chaudhee begum... Maybe third time IS the charm 😉

No one is declining FOE. Its the hypocrisy & false propaganda of actors that has led to this boycott culture .Poking into and preaching abt tradition & religion (which is not their concern),trying to ape the West -all these can be easily avoided.And all their FOE comes only on Hinduism and they go mute on other religions. It's just they are getting exposed now & neutral audiences have started noticing their sly acts. If majority of ppl do not want to watch your movie.,it is choice .We live in a democratic country & ppl are free to do so.


Upon retaliation, BW started the famous Victim card and cribbing ...let them Face the heat.


Bollywood or cinema and literature in general have always questioned traditions or social norms and cultural taboos in general from day one.

It is not new. It is job of art to question society.

Please watch old films like Sujata, Satyakam, Dhool ka Phool, Jaadugar, Dream girl, Eeshwar, Nikaah etc which question casteism, untouchability, shaming orphans, judging kids born out of wedlock, ill treatment of widows, remarriage of widows and stigma against it, triple talaq, communalism of all communities, corrupt babas exploiting gullible masses etc.

Cinema and literature are never just conformist. Recall why Khuda Ke liye faced controversy or why Salman Rushdie is attacked again.


Anyway it is sad how original spirit of creative fields is stifled now. That is why I said BW should STFU and just make films and stop commenting on social or religious issues. Today's audience is not like that of past which lapped up films like Sujata. Why you think it is only Hinduism when we have had films like Nikaah which questioned triple talaq? Or RDB showed a kattar family of Kunal's character that bashed him for having friends of other faith? Or Secret Superstar showed a conservative, orthodox, abusive father from a Muslim family who forbids daughter from singing?

KRK is making videos against the khans sallu got him banned from taking his name directly and the same can be done by others who are being targeted by these social media influencers


be it khans or other actors all these people should take some steps to stop this bullying


also stay away from politics showing fake desh bhakti preaching etc

That is what I find funniest. Aamir made a blunder by narrating her statements to media and is suffering for it. Ironically he lost both his public reputation and wife.

Though to his credit he can tell country men that he left that wife who was considering to leave India.

Biwi chhod di desh ni chhoda. Chalo maaf karo. 🤣

Jokes apart it was a poorly worded statement to share on public platform by Aamir.

Having a begum wont be a problem..

But his kids..Ira has talked about being in depression, Junaid isn't able to make a career out of what he likes..his brother has struggled with mental health issues since long..Imran is the one family member he chose to launch and even his personal n professional life is in shambles.


How much peace of mind can money give

Come on. It is not just about Hindus. There are people of all communities who troll stars. Like Khans are always trolled for celebrating Hindu festivals or visiting mandirs. Or labeled a bad example for their community by trolls.

Some Sikh actors also get trolled all time for stuff like cutting hair or trimming beard or nowadays bashed for celebrating festivals of other religions by some fanatical trolls. One Sikh model was trolled for endorsing a razor.


I am personally fed up of this shitty meddling by trolls, political parties or religious groups misusing access they get to everyone through social media.


Anyway abusing anyone or running propaganda against them or spreading lies like linking someone to ISI is not right. Nor is attributing false statements to anyone. For eg SRK NEVER said he will leave India if Modi becomes PM. That meme is fake. Aamir and SRK never said they will return their Padma awards if Modi becomes PM. That propaganda will be called out and needs to be acted against by stars too.


Anyway why generalise Bollywood when only few celebs endorse PETA or are vegans? That means Amitabh does right thing if he keeps quiet on everything for fear of offending others and despite being vegetarian he never does public service message on this at all?

Those movies commented on social issues, not on one particular party, right?


And the movie makers didn't make any comments on public platform, they let their movies do the talking even then as I said did not comment on one particular party being bad (not that that's wrong)


If they did they might've landed in trouble too
