Bollywood
superstar
Aamir
Khan,
who
is
playing
a
police
officer
in
his
soon
to
be
released
film
Talaash,
says
women
should
be
more
vocal
about
the
crimes
being
committed
against
them.
The
37-year-old
actor,
who
is
in
the
state
to
promote
the
film,
interacted
with
women
at
a
programme
and
said
that
they
should
raise
their
voice
against
crime.
"Women
should
not
stay
silent
about
the
crimes
being
committed
against
them,
rather
they
should
raise
a
strong
voice," said
Aamir.
The
actor
also
spoke
in
support
of
the
police,
saying
that
if
leaders
and
the
administration
do
not
interfere,
the
force
can
function
better.
Aamir
also
discussed
the
condition
of
Meerut
with
police
officers
who
told
him
there
are
only
1200
policemen
here
while
the
population
is
23
lakhs.
The
actor
said
that
Mumbai,
in
comparison,
has
a
lower
crime
rate
despite
having
55,000
policemen
for
a
population
of
over
one
crore."
If
each
one
of
us
take
care
of
our
duties
as
responsible
citizens,
then
crime
can
be
reduced
in
the
country,"
said
Aamir.
Talaash,
also
starring
Rani
Mukherjee
and
Kareena
Kapoor,
will
hit
the
theatres
November
30.
