Narendra Modi finds fans in Bollywood

Aamir Khan, who had invited flak for his comments on ‘intolerance,’ attended a private dinner hosted by the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi on February 13, 2016 in Delhi. The event was strictly a no-media affair, where top politicians, diplomats from different countries and business tycoons were in attendance. From Bollywood, Aamir was joined in by actress Kangana Ranaut. The event was organized right after the PM launched the mega Make in India (MII) week. The Tourism Ministry had discontinued Aamir’s contract as brand ambassador for the government’s Incredible India campaign, the reason for which was reportedly his comments on ‘intolerance.’ So, did the two have ‘dinner pe charcha’ over this issue? Well, only they would know.
