Maybe #AamirKhan only wanted to leave India to increase his chances of bumping into Modi.

Dear Anupam Kher, #AamirKhan was talking about Kiran Rao, not Kiran Kher. Hope this clears the confusion. Jai Ho 🙂

AAMIR is worried about intolerance! Think about the husbands in India who actually listen to their wives!

A true patriot will not run away n leave his motherland behind in turmoil or in troubled times (if any )…don’t escape – build it ..

I regularly travel to far corners of our nation & can say with conviction that there is no intolerance anywhere in India.
