Posted by Asim
Amir Khan the name says it all. He being one of my favorite actor, I keep a track over his moves. Amir Khan landing in controversies before release of his movie has is nothing new. Though he does not attend any desi film award functions or events, there is always an exception, and that too if it’s an ‘exceptional’ event like the Oscars!
Well what ever be the reason, I am in favor of Amir Khan. Not because I like him, because he is a celebrity and has to be in controversy. Before a product is being launched, it has to marketing which promotes the product. And for marketing himself he has to create controversy, I know many of you would oppose my view. Now let’s have a look over the controversies he has been through.
No. 1
Amir Khan started the trend of controversies from the film Mangal Pandey in 2005, when one TV channel splashed the news of his alleged link up with a British Journalist called Jessica Hines, “Jaan” added fuel to the fire their allegedly illegitimate child, who was termed “
No. 2
Few months later, it was the time for the release of his movie “Rang De Basanti”. And this time he messed up with Animal Welfare Board, The board has asked the unit to remove a horse racing scene from the final version of movie. The shot was Traditional Festival of the “Nihangs”, a sect of Sikhism. And before this was over, Amir was involved yet again in a controversy for his second marriage.
No. 3
The third controversy was with movie “Fanaa”. Just before the release of his movie, Amir invited TV Media at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar and pledged his support for the poor families of the four states that were to be displaced because the construction of Sardar Sarovar Dam on Narmada River. And religious fundamentalist made sure that “Fanaa” will not be released in Gujrat. Amir Khan earned loads of criticism from the national and international media. And with the help of this controvery the movie remained in news for quite a long time and grossed among the top earning movies of the year.
No. 4
This one was something which an Amir Khan fan could not believe; his brother Faisal Khan accused Amir for keeping him in prison in his own house and forcibly giving him medicines, thus enunciating him a mentally ill person. And the scene became more filthy when the whole family matter became public, and was dragged to court for justice. The court gave the custody of Faisal to his father, but presently his father has now told Amir to take custody of Faisal. And after this he was involved in controversy about Big B’s movie, he said that the he did not understand the movie, and the movie showed no sympathy for handicap person. And on the eve of his maiden home production “Taare Zameen Par”, he had Big B in his opposition saying that “Lagaan also showed a handicap person playing cricket”. So how can Amir accuse him”? The war is still on between the two, to which Amir said he wants to meet Bachhan and get the thing sorted out.
Despite all these controversies however, Aamir still remains reigning superstar of Bollywood delivering consistent hits.
