What Aamir Khan said about the AIB roast While there were polarised opinions on the roast, called the act 'unfunny'. Speaking at the Youth for Governance 2015 event, he said, "When Karan (Johar) and Arjun (Kapoor) told me what they said and did as part of the 'roast', I felt it was very violent event.
I completely believe in freedom of speech and no issues there. Violence is not always physical, it can be emotional, it can be verbal. Jab aap kisi ko insult karte ho to aap violence perpetuate kar rahe.
