Amir Khan divorced his second wife.
I woke up this morning and was shocked to see the news.
Because there have been rumors before that Aamir Khan has strong verbal violence against his wife. Could it be that these messages are not out of thin air?
From the divorce statement issued by Aamir Khan, it is not clear what happened to the two. He announced that he and his wife would end their 15-year marriage, raise their children together, and continue to work together on films. Divorce is not the end, but the beginning of a new one.
Like bill Gates' divorce announcement two months ago, who was also caught off guard and unsettled.

But such a decent statement can not stop everyone's curiosity and speculation, and all kinds of rumors about divorce have emerged.
Not long ago, the Indian media publicly accused that Aamir Khan has long been creating a left-wing human design, but this behavior is hypocritical, on the one hand, he criticizes Hinduism on TV programs and supports women's rights, but in fact, he donates a lot of money to violent groups that hate women.
△ Accusations against Aamir Khan by the Indian media
You know, Amir Khan is the most famous Indian actor in China, and even known as "Andy Lau of India" and "Indian Conscience", and his character and talent are all talked about.
From "Three Fools Bollywood", to "My God", to "Wrestling Daddy" and "Mysterious Superstar", Amir Khan has many fans in China.
More importantly, in the impression of many Chinese film fans, he is dedicated, conscientious, and a philanthropist.

However, when we carefully search the domestic reports, we will find that in the past two years, he has been discredited in India.
Could it be that "Andy Lau of India" also has someone to set up a day of overturning?
Today we will talk about what kind of man Aamir Khan really is.

Most people know about India starting with Indian cinema. Countless Indian films are inseparable from Amir Khan, who in China has almost become synonymous with Indian cinema.
But 2021 will not be peaceful for Amir Khan at all.
In March and April, when the epidemic in India was at its worst, Aamir Khan was not spared.
On March 24, 2021, the media reported that Amir Khan was suffering from the new crown, and the news was also on the hot search, and Chinese fans also pinched a handful of sweat for him.
Fortunately, after a month of treatment, Amir Khan recovered and was discharged from the hospital.

After all, with Aamir Khan's status and wealth in India, he had enough resources to save himself.
You know, when the epidemic was serious, india has always had a saying that "the rich grab the ticket, the middle class grabs the oxygen, and the poor grab the firewood."
Because too many people have died, the funeral industry has long been overwhelmed, the dead cannot be properly handled, and the poor can only grab firewood to bury their relatives and friends.
A bottle of oxygen also reached a sky-high price of $600 a bottle on the black market.
None of this, however, was a matter for Aamir Khan, who had a good life and was born into a good family.
The fate of Aamir Khan in this half of his life has always been related to his family.
02
Amir Khan was born in 1965 to a Muslim family in Mumbai, India. His father was the famous filmmaker Tahir Hussein, and his uncle was the well-known director and actor Nasir Hussein.
It seems that on the path of the movie, it was Aamir Khan who was arranged in the dark.
△ Aamir Khan as a child
At the age of 8, Aamir Khan starred in his uncle's film Yaadon Ki Baraat. However, the experience was not pleasant, and Amir Khan hated makeup, so he chose a new direction himself - tennis.
Aamir Khan practiced very hard and won the tennis championship in the Indian state of Maharashtra.
Amir Khan's father was happy to see his son have a new direction, because he didn't want his son to enter the film industry at all, and he wanted his son to have a more decent life, such as being a lawyer, a doctor or a politician.
It's just that the father doesn't know that this child who behaves well at home every day has long been on the "blacklist" at school.
Fighting was a common occurrence in Aamir Khan's student days, and someone bullied his brother, who was able to beat him to the ground and find his teeth.
No matter how bad he is, in the eyes of the teacher, this boy will certainly not become a lawyer or a doctor.
△ Amir Khan and his father
At the age of 21, Aamir Khan did an earth-shattering event.
As a Muslim (Muslim), Amir falls in love with Reena, a neighbor girl from a Hindu family.
This love is simply thunderous.
The long-standing contradictions and differences between the two religions are basically irreconcilable, let alone in love and marriage, as if it is wrong to look at it more.
Not surprisingly, the two men were opposed by both parents.
But Amir Khan was not afraid, he actually eloped with Rena, and resolutely married, and then returned home.

But after 16 years of marriage, in 2002, Amir Khan divorced Rena, and the reason for the divorce was that the personality was incompatible and there were irreconcilable differences.
Like this time, all kinds of speculations came out that year, but none of them were confirmed, only that Amir Khan was very sad at that time, and he disappeared for three or four years to treat love injuries.
But as the old saying goes, love is frustrated, and the workplace is proud.
Also in 2002, Aamir Khan was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film for his film Once Upon a Time in India, which was the first time that an Indian film had received such a high accolade.
Aamir Khan's life also began to change.
03
In fact, as early as 1988, Amir Khan gave up tennis and entered the film industry, starring in his cousin Mansour's film "Cold and Warm World".
To be honest, it is a pity that his face is not used for acting, and Amir Khan was really handsome when he was young.
Before long, Amir Khan became a popular student.
△ Amir Khan in his youth
In 2002, Aamir Khan starred in and produced "Once Upon a Time in India", which pushed him to the top in one fell swoop.
But the first work that really made Amir Khan out of India, especially by Chinese audiences, was "Three Fools and Big Troubles Bollywood".
△ "Once Upon a Time in India"
There are many people who have hated India before, but because of this movie, they have a lot of good feelings.
Coupled with the fact that Amir Khan was too dedicated, he was 44 years old when he played "Three Fools in Bollywood", but he tried to lose the muscles in his body, and he went to school to live with students for several months, resulting in the 18-year-old college student being vivid.

The same is true of "My God", Aamir Khan designed dry eyes and supported ears for the character, in order to achieve the effect of aliens, he did not suffer less.
And the later WrestleMania! In order to interpret the image of the father of different ages, Amir Khan first gained 56 pounds, played the middle-aged father, and then lost 50 pounds in five months, and changed back into the young image of the muscle man.

In the end, the film grossed nearly $1.3 billion at the chinese box office, turning Aamir Khan from an actor into an Indian national treasure movie star.
However, Amir Khan was sought after by countless people, not only because of his dedication, but also because of his conscience.
04
The works of Amir Khan are known in China as the "Conscience of India".
Because his films are too realistic, whether comedy or tragedy, almost the entire text is a presentation and criticism of Indian social problems.
Some people say that Aamir Khan is using the movie to "open the stomach" of this patient in India to find out where the lesion is.
The Colors of Basati tortures the state system.
"Three Fools Bollywood" slammed cramming education.
Stars on Earth focuses on special education.
"My God" discusses the blind worship of religion, and Aamir Khan received death threat calls for this film.
△ Believers are burning posters of movies
WrestleMania! "Daddy" and "Mysterious Superstar" are critical of India's serious sexism problem.
"Making a movie is not about pandering to anyone. When you make a film that has a certain critical meaning for your country, it has a crucial meaning for the country. ”
"So criticizing ourselves and our country is the first step in our progress, there is no need to be ashamed that our motherland is in the spotlight, what should be ashamed is that our country is deficient in that aspect."
△ Wrestlemanship! Daddy
In addition to movies, Amir Khan has also begun to involve other forms of presentation for more than a decade, in short, to make up his mind to expose the dark corners of society to the sun.
In 2012, Amir hosted the TV show "Truth Interview", which has to be said to be a wonderful people's livelihood program.
As soon as he came up, Aamir Khan said:
"On the one hand, India is on the rise and thriving, and as an Indian, I am happy and proud.
However, there are many poignant facts in society that we turn a blind eye to. But these sufferings make me deeply uneasy and sad.
Sometimes I wonder, why should I think about all these things that have nothing to do with me? My life is happy and happy, but what does the suffering of others have to do with me? But it does have a stake. Because I'm also a part of this society. ”
Indeed, Aamir Khan's origins were already superior in India, and his life was superior and unrestricted.
He is a high caste, and more of a man.
But he wants to discuss some topics related to the people's livelihood in india in the program, not to blame anyone, not to slander anyone, and not to restrain anyone.
△ Hindu caste system
The three seasons cover all aspects of life in India, including sexism, child sexual abuse, domestic violence, caste system and more.
At that time, it caused an uproar in India and even the world.
After the child abuse unit was broadcast, it directly promoted the establishment of a child protection bill in Congress.
It also reveals the dilemma of women's survival in India: patriarchy over daughters, forced abortions for women, rape cases, victim guilt, domestic violence and so on.

Doing public welfare and charity is also his daily routine.
In order to help Indian villages solve the water problem, Amir Khan brings volunteers to different villages every year to help locals dig water storage ditches.

In addition, most Indians believe that menstruation is a filthy thing. Many establishments explicitly prohibit women from entering during menstruation.
Coupled with the heavy tariffs and high prices of sanitary napkins, various difficulties have led to indian women almost walking during menstruation.
In order to resist this physiological discrimination, Aamir Khan once posted a photo of himself holding a sanitary napkin on social platforms, calling for women's physiology to be faced squarely.
As a result, Amir Khan was also named one of the "Top 100 Influential People in the World" by Time Magazine in the United States.
But in May this year, this person's character and works are impeccable, and the person who is called "Andy Lau of India" has been criticized by the state media in India in the past two years.
05
The media said that Amir Khan was inconsistent, did not do practical things, and even donated money to violent groups that were extremely hostile to women.
A few words overturned Aamir Khan's appeal in The Truth Interview. Others say that the interviews and surveys of The Truth Interview, the data and materials obtained, have been fake.
However, such criticism may involve partisan struggles, and there are many more who support Amir Khan.
What really discredited him was the public statements of three of India's biggest actresses.
They accused Aamir Khan of being a hypocrite because he refused to participate in affirmative action for women and verbally abused his wife.
The whistleblowers include Anushka, the heroine of "My God" who starred with Aamir Khan. Summer.
Actress Kangana also said of Aamir Khan on social networking sites: "Although his wife is a devout Islamist, the children can only follow his surname, and he has been proved to be an extremist."
Kangona also said: "He was supposed to be the most tolerant person, and I don't know when he became so narrow and paranoid."
For a time, these revelations were like bombs thrown into the water. People can't accept that someone who has supported and cared for women many times in TV shows and movies will have such a denigration of women in private.
In the past few months, Amir Khan has been on the cusp of Indian public opinion.
Today, the sudden announcement of divorce caught the onlookers by surprise and seemed to prove the contradiction with his wife. As a result, all kinds of rumors also emerged.
This year, there are too many stars.
Even sometimes we can't tell whether this is his life or his personality.
But one thing I've always believed is not to look at what a person says, but to see what he does.
Over the years, Aamir Khan has indeed shown more people a problematic India, especially for women and children, that has really promoted equality and won rights.
Perhaps, in private, Aamir Khan is a different face, but this does not deny amir Khan's contribution to India.
When Time magazine selected Amir Khan as one of the "Top 100 Influential People in the World", it asked the question: "Can an actor change a country?" ”。
I thought, the answer is yes, maybe not often, but definitely.
@If you actually see this, I hope to share it with more friends.
