Aamir blames media for exaggerating his comment on intolerance!

A lot has been said and done lately regarding the issue of 'intolerance' and one prominent statement concerning the same was made by Mr. Perfectionist Aamir Khan in one of his interviews, where he said his wife Kiran Rao was worried about their children's safety and if they should leave India.

Aamir's statement enraged the nation and attracted a lot of negative comments and much criticism. He was also replaced as the ambassador of the Incredible India campaign.

Today at the celebration of the completion of 10 years of Rang De Basanti, when Aamir was asked in the press conference about his previous statement on intolerance, he said, "People were misled on my comment that I said I wanted to leave India. I would blame media for this to a certain extent. Wrong information was disseminated for me."

He further added, "It is understandable. If somebody says he wants to leave the country, I will also feel hurt. I am a patriotic person. It is not that I want to leave the country. I can’t even stay outside the country for more than 2 weeks."
