Joining the debate on rising intolerance in the country, Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan on Monday said that alarmed by recent incidents his wife Kiran Rao has suggested that they should leave India.
He also virtually supported those returning their awards, saying one of the ways for creative people to express their dissatisfaction or disappointment is to return their awards.
"When I chat with 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. That does indicate that there is this sense of growing disquiet, there is growing despondency apart from alarm. You feel why this is happening, you feel low. That sense does exist in me," the 50-year-old actor who will be next seen in the movie, Dangal, added.

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.

Our Reaction on Aamir Khan Stance:
It is the tolerance of us Indians who have with open arms, accepted a 2 times divorced intolerant.We need to fight intolerance but it's absolutely rubbish to exaggerate to this level,Utter nonsense from AamirKhan.
2006 Serial blasts in LocalTrains,2007 HyderabadAttacks and 26/11 attacks AamirKhan didnt hav any insecurity..al of a sudden, u got scared.
So you are a Muslim superstar in a country where majority of the cinema going audience is Hindu. They spend their hard-earned money to make YOU a celebrity. You have married twice, both times, to HINDU women.
Your Muslim identity has never come in the way of your professional or personal successes.
You never felt 'insecure' when your co-religionists burned Mumbai multiple times, when the five star hotel you frequent was held hostage by a few Muslims.
You never felt insecure when your co-religionists destroyed a National Memorial in your city, you never felt insecure when your co-religionists assaulted cops on duty. You never felt insecure when a massive mob of your co-religionsits gathered in YOUR city for the funeral of a hanged terrorist. You never opened your mouth when any of this was happening.
But NOW you say your wife wants you to leave India because she is feeling 'insecure'?
