Their opinions count, but the Khans of Bollywood - Aamir Khan, Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan - are playing it safe when it comes to highly sensitve Lokpal issue, the hot topic these days. Aamir Khan, who tried to take a stand on the Narmada Bachao Andolan a long time ago, got himself into a political mess. It's possible that these lessons from the past have made Aamir Khan distance himself from highly political and sensitive issues. It looks as though the actor, who is all over the place when his films are at the brink of release, prefers to remain in his secure zone when he doesn't have much to talk about.
Salman Khan, who is known to propagate the 'Being Human' mantra has also not commented his stand on the Lokpal and Janlokpal bill. He is only too happy and busy with his next release 'Bodyguard', and most likely will be available to the media once the Anna Hazare furore dies down. Call it a strategic movie if you may!
Many film personalities and trade analysts are of the opinion: "To each his own... Aamir spoke up the last time, and his film was banned in certain sections of the country. Shah Rukh Khan has experienced brickbats when some statements were made and had to face dire consequences. If actors don't wish to take a stand or give an opinion, it's perfectly understandable for every word they utter will be thoroughly weighed."
Shah Rukh Khan, on the other hand, did say that like everybody else, he too wished for a corruption-free India, but SRK also stated that he didn't know much about legal procedures and the judicial system and thus was inept to give a thorough point of view on the issue!
