Some of the comments regarding Aamir Khan's take on intolerance are quite revealing. Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti, for instance, said actors like Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan were respected in India on the basis of their talent, not religion. She suggested that Aamir Khan send his wife to Pakistan: that will teach her about feeling secure in India. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Indresh Kumar counselled the actor not to work on the agenda (and directions) of fugitive underworld don Dawood Ibrahim. What the leader of the Akhil Bharatiya Hindu Mahasabha told Hindi newspaper reporters about Aamir Khan is too offensive to print. Sadhvi Prachi, disowned by the BJP, has said that Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and others of his ilk were plotting to divide India.
