Aamir says Sultan's rape remark is insensitive

Actor Aamir Khan

Aamir Khan breaks his silence on Salman Khan's rape remark controversy. The actor spoke on what he feels about the matter. 

When Aamir was asked to comment upon the issue and whether or not he has spoken to Salman in this regard, he said, "As per what media reported, what Salman said was rather unfortunate and insensitive. I haven't spoken to him." When asked if he gave advice to him, he said, "Who am I to advise him?" 

In addition to that, the actor said, "There are so many issues in front of us but human nature is such that we only get attracted to negativity and controversy. Even I am like that. That's human tendency. In general negativity sells more than positivity. If we decide to focus on positive things, we will find huge things happening in the grass root level. People need to see that. I am affected by what is being reported. When someone says something disturbing, I get disturbed."

The statement of the Bollywood star came in the wake of Salman Khan’s remark during the shooting of his film ‘Sultan’, when he compared his physically draining and tiresome schedule to a "raped Woman". The remark garnered him a lot of criticism from people across the country.
