Bollywood’s Mr Perfectionist, Aamir Khan, who is currently basking in the success of his latest release, Sitaare Zameen Par, opened up on his views on religion, and while at it, he also expressed his desire to play Lord Krishna on screen someday. Calling religion a “dangerous topic”, he added that he respects people from all faiths equally.
“When I meet people, I don’t see their religion. I just see the person,” he told Lallantop, adding, “Religion is such a dangerous topic that I don’t often speak about it in public. It is also a very personal thing to each and every individual. I respect people from all religions and the way they follow their religious paths.”
Aamir also shared that he is deeply inspired by the teachings of Guru Nanak, and that he also has a guru named Sucheta Bhattacharjee from whom he has learnt a lot.
