Ouch! Kamal Haasan just took a dig at Aamir Khan

Today, the Tamil trailer launch of ‘Bigg Boss’ was held and veteran actor Kamal Haasan who is all set to host the season was present at the event. After the trailer launch, Haasan was asked many questions one of which was, why he chose a show like ‘Bigg Boss’ over ‘Satyamev Jayate’ as the latter focuses more on social issues. While answering the question, he took a potshot at Aamir Khan who is the face of the show.

He said, “I have been more socially responsible for long than the person who hosted ‘Satyamev Jayate’.” Speaking about ‘Bigg Boss’, he said, “The show has a very wide reach. I don’t have to don an avatar this time. I can just be me, in my most natural self, and reach every household.” Hmm, now that was like a direct dig at Aamir Khan. In the past too, the actor had praised Salman Khan in a way that hinted he is taking an indirect dig at Aamir Khan. He had said, “Salman genuinely bonds with the contestants on ‘Bigg Boss’. There is no pretension or patronising in his attitude. Being friendly comes naturally to him. And he gives advice as a friend, not as a mentor. There is none of the I-know-better superiority in his attitude. I’d also like to bond genuinely with the contestants, though how it goes will depend entirely on how they perceive me, as a friend or as a mentor.” Ouch!

What does Aamir have to say to this?
