India, June 16 -- Actor Aamir Khan faced backlash after photos of his 2017 meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and First Lady Emine Erdogan resurfaced online. The criticism follows Turkey's alleged support for Pakistan in its recent attack on India and claims of supplying drones. Aamir finally addressed the issue in a recent appearance on journalist Rajat Sharma's talk show. "Turkey ne bahut galat kiya, and every Indian is hurt. During the 2023 earthquake in Turkey, the Indian government was the first to send humanitarian aid. At that time, neither I nor our government knew what Turkey would do later," he said. Aamir added that his meetings had happened years ago and were in good faith at that point in time. "When I met President Erdogan, I did not know that his country would support actions against India seven years later. As a public figure representing India abroad, it is customary to accept diplomatic courtesies. When invited for tea, I couldn't refuse. But let me reiterate, what Turkey has done now is completely wrong, and it has deeply hurt us. I was angry too." As for the current boycott of Turkish tourism and goods by Indians, the actor said, "They are doing the right thing. We must not support a country that is siding with those who attack us. We extended friendship during their time of need, and in return, they supported Pakistan. Bahut hi galat baat hai."htc...
