Aamir Khan intolerance row: These Tweets will make him cry

Just when we thought that the cows had come home after a long, long debate about intolerance, Aamir Khan let the  cat out of the bag as he talked about it, claiming that his wife wanted to leave the country.  

Of course Aamir Khan spoke about a lot of things, including the rise in terrorism, where he spoke out against those who ‘hold the Quran the kill people’ and that anyone killing ‘an innocent wasn’t a Muslim act’ but then people tend to have selective memory when it comes to these kind of things. What followed was a tradition as old as time. Normal, sane individuals turned into travel enthusiasts, made illogical arguments that would make Descartes turn in his grave and in general threatened him for daring to say India was intolerant.

Here are some of the best tweets: 

We'll get intolerance more or less everywhere in the world.India should be the safest place for India's celebrity filmstar Amir Khan& family

Dear @aamir_khan. Did you tell Kiran that you have lived through more worse times in this country & but you never thought of moving out.

— Anupam Kher (@AnupamPkher) November 23, 2015

Dear @aamir_khan. When did ‘Incredible India’ become ‘Intolerant India’ for you? Only in the last 7-8 months? #AtithiDevoBhavah

— Anupam Kher (@AnupamPkher) November 23, 2015

Dear @aamir_khan. Did you ask Kiran which country would she like to move out to? Did you tell her that this country has made you AAMIR KHAN.

Now that @aamir_khan also feels we are an #IntolerantNation. Let us now go all out and prove once for all that we are really intolerant.

Ummm, this kind of sounds like a call to action for war. Not good.  

Hey Sanghi Control Rooms:if you ask your trolls to viciously attack Aamir for complaining about intolerance, don't you just prove his point?

#AamirKhan his statement is evidence that actors need scriptwriters to write their lines otherwise they make no sense

— hemant morparia (@hemantmorparia) November 24, 2015

Look what Aamir Khan says is alarmist to the extreme but that does not mean you should get personal by bringing up Mela every damn time.

#AamirKhan's remark, though sadly alarmist, shdn't be brushed aside. Those in power shd ponder over why a great actor like him is saying so.

No more ink, please don't throw any more ink.  

just in a day, Raja Hindustani to Raja Pakistani.

Every word that @aamir_khan said is so true. I admire him for speaking up

We did not see that coming.

Few hours since Aamir Khan's statement on intolerance & I'm shocked that no mediaperson has contacted Sadhvi Prachi yet for her response.

— Ashwin S Kumar (@ashwinskumar) November 23, 2015

Shocking, it's simply shocking.  

Admire @aamir_khan for spkg out on intolerance at RNG Awards. Good thing creative community shedding inhibition, joining contentious debated

Which country should Aamir Khan go to?

— Ra_Bies (@Ra_Bies) November 23, 2015

BTW, which country was @aamir_khan's wife planning to move to due to a growing fear of insecurity in India? :)

Truly extraordinary if Aamir Khan really said that. But bigger question about his wife's intelligence https://t.co/NeGS95nWjD

— Sucheta Dalal (@suchetadalal) November 23, 2015

A bit mean.  

Who is Aamir Khan ~ Mrs Gandhi's Husband, probably asking right now

— Joy (@Joydas) November 23, 2015

This is an exclusive Twitter joke.  

Aamir Khan should go to Britain and complete the Cricket series which was washed away due to rain in Champaner 1893.

 Toilet humour never gets old. 

Aamir Khan has taken his role in Fanaa too seriously.

Aamir Khan: Hey Kiran Rao: I am scared to live in India Aamir Khan: Aww does that make you cry? Kiran Rao: BC STOP SHOVING YOUR AGENDA HERE.

Oh snap.  

Aamir Khan's wife was thinking about leaving the country because of rising intolerance but the property is too expensive in Syria and Iraq.

Too real bro.  

Kiran Rao: feeling unsafe in India. Aamir: Aaj se Dangal shuru

— Sanjay (@oothikicha) November 23, 2015

Wasn't that time better when Aamir Khan never used to give interviews or attending award functions? Or, cry and try to absorb sympathy?

— Tyrion Lannister (@Dhongi_Babaji) November 23, 2015

Don't know, it was less entertaining.
