Mumbai: Aamir Khan landed in yet another controversy after he commented on the “growing intolerance” in the country.
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.

#AamirKhan Since Aamir has already branded Hindus as 'intolerant', time to show a little intolerance! Boycott Aamir movies!
