Family were badly affected by my intolerance statement: Aamir Khan blames media

Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan has said his comments on tolerance was misrepresented by the media and this resulted in a lot of people getting upset with him.

“What I said was misrepresented. A lot of media misrepresented what I said and as a result a lot of people got upset with me, and rightly so because what was represented was not what I was saying. I understand that, these are the things you have to deal with in public life.”

The ‘PK’ star has revealed that his entire family, including his wife, mother, kids and siblings were upset because of his statement.

“They get badly affected. My wife, mother, kids, sisters and brothers get upset. Even people who love me, close to me, would get upset if I am being misunderstood, or being attacked for no reasons so obviously those close to me would not like it.”

“There were a lot of people who supported me, not just people who know me intimately, but wherever people met me they came forward to tell me that they support me”

When asked why he hasn’t played the role of a politician in any of his films, Aamir said ”There is no specific reason for that. If a good script comes where I need to play a politician I’ll do it.”

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, interrupted Aamir and joked ”That is because he works as a hero but in every movie the politician is always the villain.”

To which, Aamir laughed and said “We need to change that then..”
