Blog calling Aamir Khan a "pretentious prick" goes viral. Six takeaways

1.  He chooses to do one movie at a time, reads his scripts, and does extensive preparation for it. But all that is f**king expected from an actor in the first place. Just because ours is a hare-brained industry, doesn’t make someone a goddamn Socrates.

2. And tactful and insightful that our media is, we made him the voice of the nation. Aamir Khan tells the nation not to litter. Aamir Khan tells the nation to be nice to foreigners. Aamir Khan tells the nation to be nice to foreigners.

3. Aamir Khan is a perfectionist. Why? Because he undergoes a physical transformation for every role (which, as any theatre actor will tell you, is the f**king basic thing to do. Also, he gets paid crores for every film). Aamir Khan is a socially aware star. How? Because he blogs about issues.

4. My problem is with Aamir Khan’s opinions on other artists. You see, Mr Perfectionist doesn’t give a f**k about other artists. His work is sublime and pure and unadulterated and heavenly. The rest can go f**k themselves.

5. When he released Delhi Belly, he appeared on Aap Ki Adalat (that classy, artful show with a completely non-creepy looking host), and justified the language in the film. His logic was, the youth of the nation today talk in that manner. If you can not stand such language, please don’t watch the film. All good.

6. The AIB controversy. Since our media has no f**king work, they went and asked Aamir Khan, the Brahma guru of wisdom, what he thought. Aamir Khan first looked at the sky, blinked seven times, sipped some water, and then gave out his thoughts. That the show was offensive, hurt people’s sentiments, blah blah blah.

But then, here’s the key – HE HASN’T WATCHED THE F**KING SHOW.

 

Here's the blog if you still haven't read it.
