Arnab Goswami lashes out at Aamir Khan for meeting Turkish president

Controversial Indian news anchor Arnab Goswami lashed out at Bollywood actors for their silence during Operation Sindoor and particularly targeted Aamir Khan after his old pictures resurfaced showing the actor with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and First Lady Emine Erdogan.

Goswami alleged that despite Turkiye’s well-known anti-India stance, Aamir Khan chose to meet President Erdogan. He pointed to Khan’s visits to Turkiye in 2017 and again in 2020, during which he met the First Lady.

The infamous anchor accused Khan of "pretending to be apolitical" while maintaining ties with countries opposing India.

Goswami further blamed the box office failure of Laal Singh Chaddha on the fact that it was filmed in Turkiye.

Goswami also targeted the actor for his past comments about considering leaving India.

Additionally, Salman Khan drew Goswami's ire for a social media post appreciating the ceasefire between Pakistan and India and stated that the actor “did not say anything before that.”

Goswami condemned the gesture, arguing that Salman had remained silent before and was now only attempting damage control.

Calling Turkish President Erdogan "delusional and crazy," Goswami urged Indian filmmakers to boycott Turkiye and avoid shooting films there, and advocated for an economic ban on Turkiye.
