 "Aamir Khan on being trolled for his photo with Turkey president during 'Operation Sindoor': 'What they did was very wrong and...'")
Aamir Khan, who is gearing up for Sitaare Zameen Par, finally addressed the backlash he faced when his picture with Türkiye President Erdogan went viral during Operation Sindoor.
Speaking on Aap Ki Adaalat, the actor said, “Turkey did a very wrong thing, and every Indian has been hurt by that. A few years ago, there was an earthquake in Turkey. The Indian government was the first to help them then.”
Khan added, “At that time, even our government didn’t know, just like I didn’t when I went to meet Erdogan, that they’d do this to us seven years later. We extended our hand in friendship and helped them during a crisis, and this is what they do to us?”
The picture that went viral was from 2017 and Aamir Khan clarified saying, “Our government was also supporting Turkey at that time.”
In the same interview, the actor revealed, “When the film was released, Disney was one of the producers; they presented it. Pakistan’s censor had asked them to remove the Indian flag and the Indian national anthem from the scene where Geeta Phogat wins a match.”
He added, “They said they won’t release this film unless this is done. Within a second, I told them that our film will not be released in Pakistan. I did not want to think about it either.”
Aamir Khan is gearing up for his next release Sitaare Zameen Par that’s the remake of the Spanish film Campeones. After Laal Singh Chaddha, this is another remake by the actor and he has defended the film as it releases on June 20.
Khan said, “People still do Shakespeare to this day. Even today, the number one playwright in theatre is Shakespeare, worldwide. Even today, his plays are adapted in every language. And we praise it. Kyun bhai? Remake hai, usko band karo (Why though? It’s a remake, shut it).”
