Bollywood
actor-producer
Aamir
Khan
has
finally
clarified
his
stance
on
the
'Growing
Intolerance
In
India'
comment,
saying
that
he
and
his
wife
Kiran
Rao
love
India
and
won't
leave
the
country
at
any
cost!
"First,
let
me
state
categorically
that
neither
I
nor
my
wife
Kiran
have
any
intention
of
leaving
the
country.
We
never
did,
and
nor
would
we
like
to
in
the
future.
Anyone
implying
the
opposite
has
either
not
seen
my
interview
or
is
deliberately
trying
to
distort
what
I
have
said." said
Aamir
to
IANS.
Bollywood
celebs
including
Anupam
Kher,
Paresh
Rawal
and
Ram
Gopal
Verma
had
openly
criticized
the
opinion
of
the
actor
on
Twitter.
We
wonder,
after
reading
Aamir's
reply,
what
will
they
say.
He
added,
"India
is
my
country,
I
love
it,
I
feel
fortunate
for
being
born
here,
and
this
is
where
I
am
staying,"
the
50-year-old
celebrated
actor
said.
Secondly,
I
stand
by
everything
that
I
have
said
in
my
interview.
To
all
those
people
who
are
calling
me
anti-national,
I
would
like
to
say
that
I
am
proud
to
be
Indian,
and
I
do
not
need
anyone's
permission
or
endorsement
for
that."
Aamir
also
gave
a
befitting
reply
to
his
haters
and
said,
"To
all
the
people
shouting
obscenities
at
me
for
speaking
my
heart
out,
it
saddens
me
to
say
you
are
only
proving
my
point."
Aamir
also
thanked
his
fans,
who
stood
by
him
during
all
this,
and
said,
"To
all
the
people
who
have
stood
by
me,
thank
you.
We
have
to
protect
what
this
beautiful
and
unique
country
of
ours
really
stands
for.
We
have
to
protect
its
integrity,
diversity,
inclusiveness,
its
many
languages,
its
culture,
its
history,
its
tolerance,
it's
concept
of
‘ekantavada',
it's
love,
sensitivity
and
its
emotional
strength."
