Kher, Varma criticise Aamir on intolerance remarks

Mumbai, Nov 24   Bollywood celebrities Anupam Kher, Ramgopal Varma and Raveena Tandon have criticised Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan for his intolerance remarks.

The 50-year-old actor had provoked sharp reactions on Twitter with his industry colleagues asking “When did ‘Incredible India’ become ‘Intolerant India’ for you”.

The “PK” star, during an appearance at an award function last evening in the national capital, had said he has been “alarmed” by a number of incidents and his wife Kiran Rao even suggested that they should leave the country.

Kher, who shared screen space with Aamir in “Dil”, “Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin” among others, hit out at him saying, “India has made him what he is”.

“Dear @aamir_khan. Did you ask Kiran which country would she like to move out to? Did you tell her that this country has made you AAMIR KHAN. Did you tell Kiran that you have lived through more worse times in this country but you never thought of moving out,” he posted on Twitter.

Taking a dig at Aamir’s ‘Atithi Devo Bhavah’ campaign and his popular TV show “Satyamev Jayate”, Kher added, “Dear @aamir_khan. When did ‘Incredible India’ become ‘Intolerant India’ for you? Only in the last 7-8 months? #AtithiDevoBhavah.
