Aamir Khan on Aap Ki Adalat: Twitter support Dangal star’s ‘tolerant’ statement

Bollywood actor Aamir Khan once again grabbed eye balls for his statement on nationalism and tolerance. However, this time we seem to have accepted the positive take on the country from the actor. The Dangal star on Aap Ki Adalat said India is very tolerant although there are people who spread distress in the community. He also appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to look into the issue. Even after being taken down from as the brand ambassador of government’s tourism project, Incredible India he said that he still continued to the brand ambassador of India. Talking on the show, Khan said, “Our country is very tolerant, but there are people who spread ill-will…Those who speak of breaking up this vast country, such people are present in all religions, only Modiji can stop them. After all, Modiji is our PM, we have to tell him.” The actor recently garnered the attention after his statement on intolerance in India was highly criticised. Bollywood was also divided on the issue with actors like Anupam Kher and Akshay Kumar talking sternly against Aamir Khan’s strong viewpoints. He along with his wife Kiran Rao were asked to leave India for not being patriotic. Khan also clarified that he was wrongly quoted and said,”I never said India was intolerant, I was wrongly quoted…To say about rising intolerance and to say India is intolerant are two different things.

REVEALED: Salman Khan and Anushka Sharma’s new look in Sultan! See their Valentine’s Day pose!

The shooting of Salman Khan and Anushka Sharma’s first film together, Sultan, is on in full swing. After the first look, the makers Yash Raj Films (YRF) have released a new look of Salman and Anushka in the movie on Valentine’s Day, February 14. The two stars who play wrestlers in Sultan are seen in track suits in the new photo, like true sportsmen. Salman has done away with his moustache in this poster, while Anushka looks simple with her hair tied in a braid. We like that she is carrying a flower in one hand.
In the new photo from Sultan, Salman and Anushka are posing together in a typical akhada or wrestling den, with the following words in Hindi painted on the wall behind them, “Uunch neech ki uljhan mein pad kar, manushya insaaniyat kho baithta hai“. It means something like this: In the battle for supremacy, human beings are forgetting how to be humane

Disappointed but won’t give up on connecting India: Mark Zuckerberg

A day after India’s telecom watchdog said no to Facebook’s Free Basics, the social networking giant’s founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg conveyed his disappointment in a post but reiterated his commitment to keep working to break down barriers to connectivity in India.  In a move seen as an endorsement of net neutrality and a setback to offerings such as Facebook’s Free Basics and Airtel Zero, India’s telecom watchdog on Monday said no to discriminatory pricing of data content.  “India’s telecom regulator decided to restrict programmes that provide free access to data. This restricts one of Internet.org’s initiatives, Free Basics, as well as programmes by other organizations that provide free access to data,” the 31-year-old billionaire posted on Tuesday.
