Bollywood megastar Aamir Khan may be facing severe backlash from Indians, but one Pakistani fan has offered her house to the star and his entire family in case he wishes to move to Pakistan.
And that fan is none other than our very own Meera jee!
The actress took to Twitter to show her love for Aamir and gifted her ‘newly built farmhouse’ in Lahore to the PK actor:
She also confessed that he was like family to her:
She’s not the only Pakistani who has shown support for the Bollywood actor though. Local filmmaker and Moor director Jami Mahmood also stressed that the actor must have good reason to voice such a concern.
“What Aamir Khan is saying is about intolerance and if there is a backlash, then one has to think — maybe he is right. It is Aamir Khan who is saying this. He is one of your best. He is one of your best actors and activists. He is a hard core Indian and it is in his blood,” the director told IANS at the International Film Festival of India.
“We have gone through this a lot of times in Pakistan as well and seeing this happen to Aamir Khan is not fair. He has given so much to the industry. I look up to him so much. It is sad,” he added.
Oscar-winning music composer AR Rahman admitted that he too faced a situation similar to the actor’s a few months after a fatwa was issued against him. “Nothing should be violent. We’re all ultra-civilised people and we should show the world that we are the best civilisation,” the composer was quoted as saying by Times of India.
The actor has been facing severe backlash from members of the Bollywood fraternity after he said his wife is scared of living in India following a number of cases pertaining to religious intolerance and even suggested moving out of the country.
