Aamir Khan fuels 'intolerance' debate, says wife Kiran even suggested leaving India - Bollywood actor Aamir Khan today joined the debate on the growing intolerance in the country and said he has been alarmed by a number of incidents, and that his wife Kiran Rao even suggested that they should probably leave the country.

The 50-year old actor also backed those returning their awards, saying one of the ways for creative people to express their disappointment or dissatisfaction is to return their awards.

While speaking at the Ramnath Goenka Excellence in Journalism Awards, Aamir said "As an individual, as part of this country as a citizen, we read in the papers what is happening, we see it on the news and certainly, I have been alarmed. I can't deny. I have been alarmed by a number of incidents."

The PK star said he feels that the sense of fear and insecurity has been growing in the past six or eight months in the country.

On writers, historians and scientists returning their awards, Aamir said "A number of creative people increasingly had a certain feeling in them, which they felt they need to express. For creative people, one of the ways of expressing their dissatisfaction or their disappointment is to return their awards. I think that's one way of getting your point across."
