Aamir Ali has become the latest celebrity to support the MeToo-accused filmmaker Sajid Khan in Salman Khan's reality show.
Popular television actor Aamir Ali was supposed to enter Salman Khan's reality show Bigg Boss 16. However, he backed out at the last moment and is enjoying the controversial show from his home. In a recent tweet, he mentioned the Tajikistan singer Abdu Rozik his favourite singer and called the filmmaker Sajid Khan sweet, genuine and funny.
"I may get trolled for this but I saw last night's episode and I found #SajidKhan very genuine, sweet, and funny. The way he’s trying to take care of my favourite #AbduRozik n explain to him is really sweet.. both should stay butterfly and not become a crow, if you understood what I’m saying #biggboss @ColorsTV", his tweet read.

Aamir mentioned that he might get trolled because a lot of celebrities such as Neha Bhasin, Urfi Javed, Sherlyn Chopra, Ali Fazal, and Mandana Karimi among others have lashed out at the makers for Sajid's participation as the filmmaker has been accused of sexual harassment by multiple women during the MeToo movement in 2018.

Aamir tied the knot with Sanjeeda Sheikh in 2012 and ended his nine-year-long marriage with her in 2021. The ex-couple had participated in the dance reality television show Nach Baliye 3 in 2007 and emerged as the winners defeating famous television couple Kashmera Shah-Krushna Abhishek and the ex-couple Rakhi Sawant-Abhishek Avasthi in the finals.
