Overview
- Aamir Khan was asked about Sanjay Dutt’s comment and visibly waved off the question during a media interaction at the Celebrate Cinema Festival at Whistling Woods in Mumbai on Wednesday, October 7, 2026.
- A video of Aamir’s refusal circulated widely online and prompted immediate social-media reactions, with some users criticizing his decision not to answer.
- Sanjay Dutt first said he “can’t feel that peace in our country anymore” on Shekhar Suman’s show and later told reporters the exchange was scripted and meant to be light-hearted.
- At the same festival interaction Aamir spoke separately about artificial intelligence in films, saying the technology has no inherent value and its impact depends on how filmmakers use it.
- The episode underlines a recurring pattern in Indian media where brief quotes from talk shows and festival clips are rapidly amplified online and usually lead to quick clarifications rather than formal statements or policy debate.
