MUMBAI ( 2008-03-27 15:14:09 ) :
The protesting Tibetan community in India has appealed to ace actor Aamir Khan not to run in the Olympic torch relay.
Aamir, who is one of the Olympic torchbearers, in India has been asked by the Tibetan protesters distance himself Olympics to be held in China in 2008. A teenage protester went as far as issuing threats of immolating himself.
Aamir, who is going to play the role of a torchbearer for the Olympic Torch relay in Delhi next month, has issued no statement as yet. When contacted, his representative stated that the actor was too busy shooting for his upcoming flick Ghajini to indulge in these political controversies.
With the protesters now targeting Bollywood, the China-Tibet political saga has taken an all-new turn. Perhaps one reason why the Tibetans chose to appeal to Aamir is because the star has panache for taking up social causes.
Besides, Aamir the brother-sister combo Saif and Soha Ali Khan too shall participate as runners in the Olympic relay.
