Aamir Khan asked to "shut up" by Russell Peters

A few days back, Mr. Perfectionist Aamir Khan was in the news for speaking against AIB Roast. According to him, such shows are “violent” and mislead young people. He said he was deeply affected by it and lashed out at his colleagues and friends Karan Johar, Arjun Kapoor and Ranveer Singh. However, in a fresh case, international stand-up comedian Russell Peters has reportedly asked him to "shut up" and "mind his own business".

"Seriously, who is he, the so-called artist, to say that he found it violent and that AIB and rest involved should have been responsible? He did not even see it! Someone please ask him to shut up and take care of his own business," says the Canadian comedian.

He further added, "He is an actor; not even a real artist. He goes in front of the camera and reads out lines that someone else has written. Then, he is giving his opinion about something that is honest!"

"I don't know if they even understand what it is. It is a roast, where you put someone stage and say the most honest things, in the most brutal, nastiest manner. And in return, they do the same to you. And it's not the type of comedy where you go behind someone's back and stab them. It's honest, it's in your face. You know, it's funny, the things we get angry about. We don't get pissed when a politician comes up on stage and lies on our faces, but we get angry when someone speaks the truth," he further explained.

Anglo-Indian stand-up comic adds that he met AIB comedians Tanmay Bhatt and Gursimran Khamba and appreciated their effort. "I met Tanmay and Khamba and patted them on their back and said they should feel proud!" he signs off.
