Bollywood’s ‘Mr. Perfectionist’ Aamir Khan recently appeared in the country’s most popular TV show ‘Aap Ki Adalat’. In front of India TV chairman and editor-in-chief Rajat Sharma, Aamir not only shared untold stories of his film journey, but also spoke openly on the controversies to his personal life. In this show, Aamir not only gave a befitting reply to the trolls by responding to serious allegations like Love Jihad, but also gave a new message of love and humanity.
Almost a decade ago, Aamir Khan’s film ‘PK’, released on 19 December 2014, created a panic at the box office. The film featured the love story of a Pakistani Muslim youth and an Indian Hindu girl, which was fiercely disputed at that time. Some people accused Aamir of promoting love jihad. When Rajat Sharma raised the issue in ‘AAP Ki Adalat’, Aamir responded to Babaki. He said, “Love does not bind within the boundaries of any religion or religion. It is the most beautiful expression of humanity.”
When Rajat Sharma asked, “Trolls say that you are promoting love jihad, especially by justifying the marriage of a Hindu girl and Muslim boy in ‘PK’?” So Aamir laughed and said, “Hey soul!” Being serious then he gave an example of his personal life. Aamir said, “My sister Nikhat married Hindu Santosh Hegde. My younger sister Farhat chose Hindu Rajiv Dutta as his spouse. My daughter Ayera recently married Nupur Shikhare. Will you call it love jihad? Love is just love, it is beyond religion.” His answer not only won the hearts of the audience, but also received a lot of accolades on social media.
Aamir further clarified his point, saying, “When two people love each other, they do not see religion or caste. It is the most beautiful form of humanity. Words like Love Jihad only work to share people.” Aamir’s statement was an answer for all those who weigh love on the test of religion. He made it clear that love is the biggest strength of the earth, which breaks every bond.
Aamir Khan not only influenced people with his views in this show, but also gave a new thinking with the examples of his personal life. Examples of inter-religion marriage in his family not only reflect their generosity, but also give a message to the society that there should be no wall of religion in love and relationships.
