Aamir Khan calls religion a ‘dangerous topic’

I just see the person," Aamir said in an interview with The Lallantop. He added, “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."Deep respect for all beliefsAamir’s words showed just how careful he is when it comes to matters of faith.
