Aamir
Khan may just be regretting his
decision to voice his views on the
Narmada valley dam project. It is
common knowledge that he did not
make any friends by doing this.
In fact he lost quite a few friends
and maybe a lots of fans too. Most
of these people belonged to the
state of Gujarat, the state to which
his statements pertained directly
too. The people antagonized most
were the B.J.P. workers of the state
whose government was barring no
efforts to get the project underway.
All this culminated in Aamir’s
film Fanaa not getting released
in Gujarat. A loss of many crores
for the producer.

Just
when one thought that all the fuss concerning
the issue had died down; it all has come
roaring back to haunt Aamir. The recent
reports of coke and pepsi still containing
pesticides above permissible limits have
sent the B.J.P. into overdrive trying to
settle scores with Aamir. |

As
one knows Aamir is the premier brand
ambassador of coke in the country.
So, the B.J.P has taken the opportunity
and started making Aamir its main
reference point in all its criticisms
of the soft drinks. They have also
not refrained from making a few
personal remarks about the actor’s
moral rights to speak about the
Narmada project. According to them,
one who endorses such multinationals
is not fit to be the voice of the
farmers of the country. Though many
other leading Bollywood stars are
associated with such brands, the
B.J.P has chosen to take only Aamir’s
name. Going by the viciousness of
the comments, they are not likely
to end any time soon.

Whether
Aamir is regretting his decision to speak
out about Narmada or his decision to endorse
coke is anybody’s guess. |
