Aamir Khan's intolerance speech being misinterpreted.

        Aamir khan too climbed on the intolerance bandwagon. Aamir's comment was misconstrued and he was criticised and mocked for something he didn't even say. But since he never said about the religion-intolerance, what could be the real reason?

        Aamir khan said that he is depressed at the rising intolerance.  The word "intolerancec" here has the connection with the views and beliefs. Many took to Facebook and Twitter to shaft their rage, as news broke out that Mr. Khan and his wife Kiran Rao desired to leave the country.  I wonder, how many of them, actually bothered to to look for the full interview that featured Aamir Khan's conversation with Anant Goenka.

         Well, Aamir didn't express the desire to leave the country,  what if he actually said, legally he is free to do so. Ironically,  the controversy happened around something that wasn't even said.

          The actor was accused of mortifying the nation in front of the international media but it was the reaction to his statement that actually attracted their attention.

          Anupam Kher was one of the first celebrities to react after the news erupted.  Many dragged the resemblance of movie'PK' into the controversy, like Paresh Rawal, Ram Gopal Verma, etc.

         On social media,  Mr. Khan's comments reinvigorated, the debate on intolerance and free expression,  had dominated media coverage in India for weeks this fall but recently perished.
