Speaking at the success party of ‘Dangal’, perfectionist Aamir Khan talked about the Sanjay Leela Bhansali attack, “Taking law in their own hands is not legal for anyone. What has happened is very wrong and saddening. The people of Rajasthan are very much loveable and sensible. My experience with the people and the place was very good." "When a small group does this kind of an act, then the entire population gets a bad name. This is regrettable.”

Aamir has had his share of ‘offending’ sentiments that led to him being branded as ‘anti-national’. Aamir had invited the wrath of many when he recollected his wife’s anxious comment after a wave of intolerance overtook the country. Having learned that exercising your right to freedom of speech can be detrimental to your personal and professional life, Aamir seems guarded this time. Once bitten, twice shy, we guess.
