My wife suggested moving out of India: Aamir on intolerance
New Delhi, Nov 23 (IBNS): After Shah Rukh Khan, actor Aamir Khan on Monday raised his voice against the rising intolerance in the country and said he is alarmed by such incidents while adding that his wife also suggested if they could move out of the country.
Speaking at the Ramnath Goenka Excellence in Journalism Awards, he said, "As an individual, as part of this country as a citizen, we read in the papers what is happening, we see it on the news and certainly, I have been alarmed. I can't deny. I have been alarmed by a number of incidents."
Aamir said even his wife has suggested that probably they should move out of the country while fearing for her child.
"When I talk to Kiran at home, she says 'Should we move out of India?' That's a disastrous and big statement for Kiran to make. She fears for her child. She fears about what the atmosphere around us will be. She feels scared to open the newspapers every day," Khan said.
He said there is a "growing despondency" in the country apart from alarm.
Earlier in the month, Shah Rukh Khan also called 'intolerance of any kind' as the worst thing faced by the society.
"Religious intolerance, or intolerance of any kind, is the worst thing. Indians lose face over the questions that are asked," Khan had told a TV channel.
He had said: "If you are a patriot, you must love your country as a whole, not parts of it as religions and regions."
