Intolerance row: Filmmaker Subhash Ghai gives an epic reaction to Aamir Khan controversy

New Delhi: Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan got himself stuck into a serious controversy recently after he came up with his opinion on growing intolerance in the country.

While Aamir's intolerance remark got rave views from across the country, the controversy divided the B-town into two - supporting and opposing the ‘PK' star.

But unlike others, filmmaker Subhash Ghai has come up with an epic reaction to the entire issue.

Ghai took it to the micro-blogging site Twitter to express his views on the intolerance row in a series of tweet as he tweeted, “Babuji says – intolerance comes from intolerant people who are deprived of power, corruption, promotions, facilitations because of changes made. If 100 crore people living in poverty for 70 years have learnt tolerance as their virtue and strength, so why to debate on 12,000 intolerant gems”.

In the next tweet he stated, “Finally we can see today that intolerance is more of political issue than a social issue where 124 crore people, including (the) poorest (have) been tolerant”.

In his last tweet, Ghai shared a shared a link leading to his Facebook page to explain his opinion. “So finally truth has come out today that intolerance is more of a political farce than a social or communal issue where 124 crore people including poor and poorest job less less fortunate have been tolerant for years. Treating it as their virtue to be tolerant within given situations. And move ahead with new inspirations”.  

Aamir Khan during an award function had stated that the rising intolerance in the country has ‘alarmed' him and how his wife Kiran had suggested leaving the country.

Ever since, Aamir has been facing back lash over his remarks, though various celebrities have come out in support of the actor.
