P.S. Aamir!!

Bye bye George Clooney. Hello Aamir Khan. Agreed Aamir doesn’t do what George does to a shirt but heck, Finally we also have a poster boy activist like the Cool George.

Aamir’s journey from chocolate boy actor to activist has been very riveting. His recent liberal activism and unabashed political views have made it to headline-attracting public prominence. But I’m not sure he is enjoying the limelight.

Somehow the script has gone horribly wrong for him. And knowing how particular Aamir is about the small stuff, he really must be upset.

Strictly speaking, I’m not an Aamir Khan fan. But I genuinely feel that the recent Aamir bashing is unwarranted. Who the hell cares whether Aamir Khan knows the length of the damned dam or not? What matters is that he became the voice of thousands of nameless, faceless people.

It takes courage to answer a call. As it is, the fraternity that Aamir belongs to is notorious for their code of silence. So when Aamir comes out and takes up a cause, instead of supporting him, what do we do? Run him down for being anti Gujarat and BJP etc etc. Come on people; let’s quit living in 3rd rock from the sun.

It’s really ironical. First, they blame him for being damned materialistic and hardcore selfish. (Do-you-know-he-asked-for-eight-crore-from-Aditya Chopra-was Bollywood’s big question till the time Fanaa released.) Now they blame him for having an opinion. (Aamir Khan is an actor and he should just sing and dance, Gujarat CM has supposed to have said something to this effect).

So basically, he is damned if he does and damned if he earns!

Come on guys, give the guy a break. Just have some thande ka tadka! Or watch him smolder in Fanaa.
