In 2015, Aamir Khan was trolled by BJP supporters and criticized by BJP leaders for saying that his wife is scared about the future of their son in India. The 'Dangal' actor indirectly stated that the climate of "intolerance" in India will create an unsustainable future for Muslims.
After the backlash that he received online, Khan went silent. He didn't campaign against Narendra Modi or any BJP candidate in 2019 or in any State Assembly election. He has distanced himself from political opinions as well.
However, in the latest instance, Khan has supported Modi's Mann Ki Baat, something many critics feel is a useless program. Speaking to a news agency, the 'Rang De Basanti' actor commented that Mann Ki Baat is a very important piece of communication that the leader of the country (read Narendra Modi) does with the people. The 'Laal Singh Chaddha' actor added that the PM discusses important issues and puts forward thoughts through the bulletin.
Netizens are reading something into Khan's comments. They are of the opinion that the Bollywood superstar has changed his political stance from anti-BJP to pro-BJP (or, at least, 'not anti-BJP'). However, others say that Khan's views are neutral. "He hasn't supported Modi or BJP. It's a standalone comment that doesn't have any political stamp on it," a Netizen wrote.
