‘PK’ actor Aamir Khan usually has strong opinions about freedom of speech and liberty but this time he has marked boundaries to the speech by lashing out at the AIB knockout roast. He disapproves the content presented in the controversial comedy show.
According to Indian media reports, Aamir Khan said, “My opinion is that it was a violent show. Karan (Johar) and Arjun (Kapoor) are my friends and I scolded them and told them that I was not impressed with it. If you think 25 abuses can impress me, then you’re wrong. I’m not 14 anymore; abusive language doesn’t excite me. If you can make me laugh without hurting anyone that I’ll appreciate. I don’t think jokes about the colour of skin or one’s sexuality are funny at all”.
“Have they broken a law or have they not, I am not going into that technicality. If they have broken a law, they should face the consequences like you and I. The law is for all of us. If they haven't broken the law they should have gone scot-free. I believe that the law should take its course,” he added.
While Bollywood ace director Karan Johar who was an active part of the show reacts on Khan’s statement and said that he was ‘taken aback’ by Aamir publicly condemning the show as he is close to both Aamir and his wife, Kiran Rao and was not expecting him to express his disapproval so openly, media reported.
