Actor Aamir Khan has faced online backlash following the release of the Sitaare Zameen Par trailer, with #BoycottAamirKhan trending due to his silence on the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor. TV actor Arjit Taneja responded to a post, urging users to stop spreading hate.

Kumkum Bhagya actor Arjit Taneja defends Aamir Khan amid online criticism, “Does a social media post validate everything for you?”

On Tuesday, the day the Sitaare Zameen Par trailer was released, a Twitter user with the handle @ladynationalist shared the film’s poster, writing, “No post for Pahalgam, No post for OperationSindoor & now his movie is about to release. you know what to do, right?” Arjit Taneja, known for TV shows like Kaise Mujhe Tum Mil Gaye and Kumkum Bhagya, came to Aamir Khan’s defence. Responding to the post, he wrote, “Stop f**ing spreading hate. This isn’t nationalism. You don’t know how n what one is doing to cope with what is happening in the country. Does a social media post validate everything for you? Just because someone did not ‘post’ does not make them antinational. Dumb people dumb logics.”

After the original user shared a 2015 video of Aamir Khan discussing intolerance in India, Arjit Taneja responded again, saying, “Keep your dumb commentary to yourself. Aur kuch karna hai toh desh ke liye kar. Ghar pe baith ke phone ke peeche bakwas karne se aur views milne se khush mat ho (If you want to do something, do it for your country. Talking on the phone while sitting at home won’t help). Ps - I love my country. But won’t be spreading unnecessary hate instead will do what I can and in my hands.”

The trailer of Sitaare Zameen Par launched on Tuesday evening, marking Aamir Khan’s return to the big screen after three years. However, controversy arose after his production house shared a belated congratulatory message for the ‘heroes of Operation Sindoor’ on the same day. Many online users questioned the timing, noting his earlier silence on the incident.

Sitaare Zameen Par, directed by RS Prasanna, is a spiritual sequel to the 2007 film Taare Zameen Par. Produced by Aamir Khan Productions, it features Genelia D’Souza and introduces 10 debut actors, with a screenplay by Divy Nidhi Sharma. The film is set to release on 20 June.
