Shirish Kunder And Anupam Kher: The Intolerance Fire Is Burning It All
Updated : April 06, 2016 11:02 AM ISTEvery action has an equal an opposite reaction and that is what is happening in the industry with reference to the intolerance debate.
Aamir Khan on Monday in an interview said that India is becoming an intolerant society and that at times his wife thinks about moving out of India. One statement and hell broke loose, since Monday Aamir Khan has faced severe backlash and has been accused of spreading a sense of fear amongst the masses . Anupam Kher accused him was for making an absurd statement like that. People stood in support of Aamir and against him until he broke his silence and cleared his stand on the entire issue.
Actors like Rishi Kapoor also accused Aamir Khan for calling India an "Intolerant society" being the brand ambassador of "Incredible India". Rishi Kapoor had tweeted:
Mr.&Mrs. Amir Khan. When things are going wrong and the system needs correction,repair it,mend it.Don't run away from it. That is Heroism!

And now when the fire is spreading it is taking more people under its purview. Shirish Kunder tweeted in support of Aamir Khan, three days ago:
Dear Anupam Kher, #AamirKhan was talking about Kiran Rao, not Kiran Kher. Hope this clears the confusion. Jai Ho :-)
