Bollywood star Aamir Khan on Monday said he was “alarmed” by the number of incidents and revealed that his wife Kiran Rao had even suggested leaving the country.
Khan supported the artists returning their awards, saying it was one of the ways for creative people to express their dissatisfaction or disappointment.
“As an individual, as part of this country as a citizen, we read in the papers what is happening, we see it on the news and certainly, I have been alarmed. I can’t deny. I have been alarmed by a number of incidents,” he said while speaking here at the Ramnath Goenka Excellence in Journalism Awards ceremony.
The actor said he also felt that a sense of insecurity and fear has been growing in the past six or eight months.
