Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan on Friday said he 'completely endorse the move by the Mumbai Police to reduce security around him', saying he trusts them.
"Completely endorse the move by the Mumbai Police to reduce the security around me. The police personnel can be put to better use in securing in the city," Khan said in a tweet.
"If and when the Mumbai Police feel the need to increase my security, they will. I trust them completely," he added.
The Mumbai Police have, however, denied reports that they have reduced security cover for 40 Bollywood celebrities, including top actors Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan.
