A
few
days
ago,
when
Aamir
Khan-starrer
Laal
Singh
Chaddha
arrived
in
theatres,
Indian
audience
simply
boycotted
the
film
owing
to
his
statement,
which
he
had
given
to
media
years
ago.
Those
who
are
not
aware,
in
2015,
Aamir
had
said
that
the
sense
of
insecurity
and
fear
had
been
growing
in
the
past
six
or
eight
months.
He
had
said,
“When
I
chat
with
Kiran
at
home,
she
says
‘Should
we
move
out
of
India?’
That’s
a
disastrous
and
big
statement
for
Kiran
to
make.
She
fears
for
her
child.
She
fears
about
what
the
atmosphere
around
us
will
be.
She
feels
scared
to
open
the
newspapers
every
day.
That
does
indicate
that
there
is
this
sense
of
growing
disquiet,
there
is
growing
despondency
apart
from
alarm.
You
feel
why
this
is
happening,
you
feel
low.
That
sense
does
exist
in
me.”

During
the
release
of
Laal
Singh
Chaddha,
this
particular
statement
of
Aamir
went
viral
on
Twitter
and
netizens
who
were
furious
at
him,
vowed
not
to
watch
his
films
ever!
Owing
to
the
massive
outrage
on
social
media,
Laal
Singh
Chaddha
suffered
severely
at
the
box
office
and
could
not
even
cross
Rs
100-Crore
mark
in
five
days.
While
Aamir’s
film
has
already
suffered
from
‘boycott
culture’,
netizens
are
now
targeting
Shah
Rukh
Khan
and
Salman
Khan.
Yes,
you
read
it
right!

Many
netizens
are
urging
others
to
boycott
the
upcoming
films
of
Shah
Rukh
and
Salman
i.e.,
Pathaan
and
Tiger
3,
respectively,
because
of
their
statements
as
well.
Surprisingly,
even
before
the
release
of
these
two
films,
hashtags
like
#boycottpathaan
and
#boycotttiger3
are
already
trending
on
Twitter.
We
wonder
if
Shah
Rukh
and
Salman
would
react
to
such
trending
hashtags
against
their
upcoming
films.
