Watch | Aamir Khan ‘alarmed at growing intolerance in India’

Bollywood actor Aamir Khan joined the intolerance debate and expressed 'alarm' at the present atmosphere in the country. Speaking at the Ramnath Goenka Awards 2015, he added that his wife filmmaker Kiran Rao asks him whethere they should move out of India because she fears for their child. “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,? said Aamir. He also endorsed the move by scientists, writers and filmmakers to return their awards to register their protest against the atmosphere of growing intolerance and said that for creative people it is important to voice what they feel. “A number of creative people-historians, scientists, increasingly had a certain feeling in them, which they felt they need to express. For creative people, one of the ways of expressing their dissatisfaction or their disappointment is to return their awards. I think that's one way of getting your point across,” he said.
