Aamir Khan, who recently made a comeback to the big screen with ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’, has opened up about his personal beliefs. Known for his thoughtful take on life and films, the ‘PK’ actor usually stays away from talking about religion in public. But this time, he shared how he sees people beyond their religion and why he respects every faith.“When I meet people, I don’t see their religion. 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. By saying that religion is a “very personal thing”, he highlighted how important it is for everyone to find their own spiritual path without any interference. His simple way of looking at people — beyond their caste or creed — is something that stands out in today’s times.
