The Domestic Airport in Mumbai was thronged by the media, who were keen to get the actor's reaction following the 'intolerance comment' controversy. The police force too was strengthened at the venue.
However, Aamir gave the media a slip and made his way out of the airport through a separate exit meant for chartered flights. We hear, special arrangements were made to ensure the actor's safety. An ambulance was brought on the scene and Aamir reached his car under its cover.
Over the last few days, Aamir has been in the eye of the storm after he said that worried over the "growing disquiet", his wife Kiran Rao asked him if they should move out of India. This statement created an uproar across the country.
So why did the Dangal actor return to the city in the midst of such severe backlash? Reason - it's his son Azad Rao Khan's birthday.
Azad turns a year older today and the Khan family brought in his birthday in a quiet manner with Imran Khan, his wife Avantika Malik and their munchkin Imara. Avantika even posted this adorable picture of the two tiny tots.
