All AND SUNDRY SO MAD AT AMIR KHAN

Mr. Incredible, Aamir khan found himself into the controversy. I just couldn’t help myself in poking up the nose into this controversy.

Personally, I find it almost as funny as the complex knots that celebrities often get them into. I am going to try and maintain a suitably dignified approach, but honestly, I feel like falling over and laughing all over the floor, just like we used to do when the young Aamir in the movie trailers hung outside the  rope connecting to other flat in helping the co- actor stuck between the flats for hours.

Aamir is a great filmmaker and all that, but he really shouldn’t have spoken his mouth off in front of public like that, I believe. Why is everyone so mad at him? He was silly enough to personalize it, quoting his wife. His wife, a Hindu, by Allah, is worried about the future of her son, Hey Ram, so she wants to leave the country. Umm, was Mr. Khan planning to take his previous family, two older children, Muslim, one ex-wife, also a Hindu, when he runs off? Because it’s so scary to live in India.

Of course, that isn’t funny. This ‘let’s go leave the country’ theme is something is not the solution to all this. I agree, everyone has the right to speak and he just portrayed his heart out in front of public in an interview. In the true sense what comes out from one through indications gets out through some others mouth at the same time.

Recently, "Taslima Nasreen noted Bangladesh writer commented today- Amir Khan you earned 300 crores by mocking Hindu gods in PK if you would have done this in Pakistan, Bangladesh or on Muslim religion you would have been hanged and still you say India is intolerant."

I believe technically, it’s easy for rich people to emigrate, I’m assuming to the US or Britain, or some nice tax haven like Monaco or Malta. Money gets you a resident visa. All these places are stuffed with Indian rich lists, who are domiciled there for well, tax reasons.

 Mr. and Mrs. Khan, if you were to really leaving your country out of fear, like all those poor Syrians, and actually have to live wherever you go, what would you do for a living. You  can go to western  countries and also  realize that however rich you are, and however A-list in India, you’re a nobody there; you’d have to retire, or keep going back to India to work and thinking about your child , he may turn to the same profession as you are in   Indian industry in India.

It takes a lot of humility and adjustment, when you’re used to being treated like royalty, to just be seen as yet another snotty rich immigrant; the local operator who won’t fix your Wi-Fi will not care who you are Mr. incredible. – They’ll just ask you spell your name thrice. Anyway, the Russians and Greeks are richer. And while you can have your nanny, and three maids, and a butler, please remember that they’ll just walk out when their shifts are over, never mind your shooting schedules. They don’t care who you are.

Mrs. Khan, you may be the best filmmaker in India. But you’re short (by western standards), brown, female, with a funny name, you don’t have a degree from Columbia or Oxford — so you have a multiple minority syndrome. Oh, they’ll be nice and let you make documentaries. But you aren’t tall, white, male, silver haired, with the right school tie. So you are nobody. Tough. Mr. Khan — ditto for you, except you are male, etc, potential sponsor since you have been previously successful. But you are still a minority. And umm, old. By their standards.
