The Pakistani-Indian singer, Adnan Sami, is no longer a part of the controversial ‘Pakistani spy’ debate in India. But it seems like the Indians were eagerly waiting to find another bait to project their skepticism on. This time, it’s Aamir Khan who’s in the spotlight.
The Dangal actor had been in Turkey for the shoot of his film Laal Singh Chaddha when he arranged a meeting with the first lady of Turkey, Emine Erdoğan. The 55-year-old discussed the works of the Paani Foundation, which is a non-profit organization established by him.
I had the great pleasure of meeting @aamir_khan, the world-renowned Indian actor, filmmaker, and director, in Istanbul. I was happy to learn that Aamir decided to wrap up the shooting of his latest movie ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ in different parts of Turkey. I look forward to it! pic.twitter.com/3rSCMmAOMW

The Turkish president has always shown support for Pakistan’s position on Indian-occupied Kashmir. He has spoken openly against Indian brutality and the illegal annexation of the Valley. In Islamabad, Erdoğan addressed the Pakistani parliament saying:
The Kashmir conflict can be solved not by conflict or oppression, but on the basis of justice and fairness.
Recently, Erdoğan spoke to the President of Pakistan on the occasion of Eid-ul-Azha. They discussed many different issues including COVID-19 and the Kashmir issue.
President Dr. Arif Alvi and President Erdogan exchanged Eid-ul-Azha
greetings in a telephonic conversation. Important matters including Kashmir and Covid-19 were discussed. Pakistan appreciated President Erdogan’s unequivocal statement on Kashmir before the UNGA.

Is Aamir Khan the next spy?
Some Indian fans totally lost it when they found out that the Bollywood Khan arranged a meeting with Emine Erdoğan. Here was Aamir, with the first lady of Turkey, that too in a country that has shown undying support for Pakistan.
Indian film director, Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri, started a debate on Twitter. And people were divided with their opinions.
Should Amit Khan have met the caliphate leader? What do you think? https://t.co/fVfWdGqZ9q

But some also pointed out that there was nothing wrong with this.

Do you think Indians’ reaction to Aamir Khan’s meeting with the first lady of Turkey, Emine Erdoğan, is too juvenile? Share your thoughts in the comments section.
