Throwback Video: When Aamir Khan Refused To Comment On A Controversial Issue

Bollywood actors often refrain from sharing an opinion on current affairs mainly due to the effect such comments have on their careers and box office collections. During the promotion of the film, Thugs of Hindostan, actor Aamir Khan had refused to comment on a controversial issue when a journalist asked him his opinion on places of worship and their significance. The actor said that he does not wish to comment since his film is on the verge of releasing and he does not wish to be an epitome of controversy in such a situation. He also assured that he will put his stance forward once his movie has released and everything settles. Various actors have faced extreme outrage in the past for their take on newsy subjects.
