Aamir Khan's statement from 2015 in which he said that "India is growing intolerant" is apparently being reshared on social media.?

What did Aamir Khan say? He had said earlier that he along with his former wife Kiran Rao want to leave the country as it was growing intolerant.?

He had also said in 2015, "When I chat with Kiran at home, she says ‘Should we move out of India?’ That’s a disastrous and big statement for Kiran to make. She fears for her child. She fears about what the atmosphere around us will be. She feels scared to open the newspapers every day."??

He had then clarified that he never called India intolerant. "Our country is very tolerant, but there are people who spread ill-will...Those who speak of breaking up this vast country, such people are present in all religions, only Modiji can stop them. After all, Modiji is our PM, we have to tell him".?

"I never said India was intolerant, I was wrongly quoted...To say about rising intolerance and to say India is intolerant are two different things," he said.

"That does indicate that there is this sense of growing disquiet, there is growing despondency apart from alarm. You feel why this is happening, you feel low. That sense does exist in me".

People are calling Aamir Khan "anti-hindu" and "anti-national" and demanding boycott of Laal Singh Chaddha.?
