I felt sick in my stomach: Aamir Khan

Mumbai under siege, terrorists on rampage and a city trying to fight back - this has been a constant theme since last 36 hours now. With normal life coming to a grinding halt, theatres shut and Bollywood paralyzed, the industry is speaking its heart out in condemning such a dastardly act of cowardice by the terrorists.

While Big B expressed his anger and sorrow at the tragic turn of events, Aamir Khan too has vented out his ire on the faceless attackers in his blog.

Shocked at the sight of Mumbai turning into a war zone, Aamir writes on his blog, "My heartfelt condolences to the families of persons killed and taken hostage. I was feeling sick in the stomach when the fire broke out at the Taj hotel. What would the people caught inside be going through? The fire fighters were doing their best but my imagination was running wild and I was feeling helpless watching other people trapped in the rooms adjoining the fire."

The actor pays his condolences to the families of the brave police personnel who have lost their lives leading from the front to take on the terrorists. Aamir makes a special mention of late Hemant Karkare, the chief of ATS. He pays the martyred officer a glorious tribute saying "Karkare is an example of a brave officer who gave his life in the line of duty."

Showing his empathy for the officers of the Mumbai Police, the Indian Army, Navy, the NSG and the various other security forces dealing with the situation, Aamir salutes their effort in trying to overcome such a mammoth crisis.

While the actor known for his perfectionism is all praises for the officers, he is unforgiving in his criticism of the opportunistic politicians who he dreads would use this tragedy to further their political careers.

Aamir wonders, "When will these politicians realize and admit that terrorists have no religion. Terrorists are not Hindu or Muslim or Christian. They are not people of religion or God. They are people who have gone totally sick in their head and have to be dealt with in that manner."

He hopes that the politicians will finally stop the politics of hate and division and work together as 'responsible leaders'. We couldn't agree more with the actor.
