On Monday, asserting that no other country is as diverse as India, Aamir, 50, said, “I was born here and I will die here.”
Aamir's comments came on a day when he came under fresh attack from actor Akshay Kumar who said “ups and downs” happen in every nation and one should not start giving “bold” statements.
“I never said India was intolerant or I wanted to leave the country. I also understand the emotions of those who were hurt. I would like to say that my statement was misunderstood and to some extent media is responsible for it. I was born here and I will die here,” Aamir had said.
“Our country is diverse with so many languages, culture...no other country has so much diversity as India,” he had said, adding, “Whenever I go abroad I can’t stay away from my country more than two weeks. I get homesick”.
Aamir’s statement last November that he was “alarmed” by a number of incidents and that his wife Kiran Rao even suggested that they should probably leave the country had triggered a nationwide outrage.
