The superstar faced the consequences of his comments when his film 'Fanaa' faced a wave of protests across the state and was unofficially banned there. With his much anticipated film '3 Idiots' about to be released, Aamir seems keen to avoid a repeat.
Aamir recently visited a school near Ahmedabad and interacted with the children and also shared lunch with them during his promotional tour of his film '3 Idiots'.
"Apart from the promotional activity, I also wanted to highlight certain issues. There is some good work happening in the field of education of the girl child in Gujarat. Special emphasis is given on this fact and it is a very good sign. Hence, I visited the school to bring this into focus," said the actor.
Modi had criticised Aamir for his support to NBA saying that non-construction of the dam will deprive people of the state of water. Aamir had refused to apologise saying that he was not against the dam but wanted people displaced by it's construction to be rehabilitated.
His subsequent films had faced heat in the state as theatre owners feared violence and refused to exhibit them.
