Throwback Tuesdays: When Imran Khan called Aamir Khan ‘political’ for highlighting societal injustice

Today’s throwback story is about the time when Imran Khan, the former Pakistan cricket captain and politician, criticized Aamir Khan’s involvement in the film Dhobi Ghat during the Agenda Aaj Tak 2015 event in India. Khan met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and sat in the audience during Aamir Khan’s session, where he shared his views on the actor’s choices.

Imran Khan, recently made comments about Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan, calling him “political.” The remarks came after Aamir Khan spoke out against social and political issues in India.

Imran Khan’s statement was, “You can make money by acting but you point out injustice in society…” This suggests that Imran Khan believes Aamir Khan should focus on his acting career rather than using his platform to address social and political problems.

However, many people disagree with Imran Khan’s view. They argue that celebrities and public figures have a responsibility to use their influence to draw attention to important issues and advocate for positive change. Aamir Khan, in particular, has been praised for his willingness to speak out against injustice and inequality, even when it may be unpopular or controversial.

The relationship between celebrity and politics is a complex one, with some arguing that celebrities should stick to their artistic pursuits, while others believe that they have a moral obligation to use their voice and platform to address social and political issues. Regardless of one’s personal views, it is clear that Aamir Khan’s willingness to speak out has generated significant attention and debate.

As public figures continue to navigate this delicate balance, it is important for everyone to engage in respectful and thoughtful dialogue, and to consider the perspectives of those who may have different views on the role of celebrities in social and political discourse.
