On Tuesday, Nov 24, a petition was filed urging people to request the Bollywood superstar and his family to leave India if he finds it intolerant.
Yesterday's petition had said, "We truly appreciate his (Aamir) and his family's concern and would like to urge him to make the move as soon as possible. If he needs any financial or other kind of help in the transition process we are ready to lend a hand. Please sign the petition to urge him to leave the country and find a safer place to take his family. It is of the utmost importance to us Indians that all people here should feel safe!"
At the Ramnath Goenka Awards function, hosted by the Indian Express Group, Aamir had triggered the controversy by saying that there was growing sense of disquiet in the country.
He had said that his wife had wondered if they should leave India, the actor said and supported those returning their awards by saying this was one of the ways for the creative people to express their dissatisfaction.
"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 actor had said.
