A few days ago, Bollywood actor Aamir Khan met Emine Erdo\u011fan, wife of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan. On August 15, the First Lady had tweeted pictures of their meeting<\/a> following which Khan received widespread backlash on social media with several demanding a boycott of the actor’s upcoming films. Turkey’s criticism of abrogation of Article 370<\/a> and support to Pakistan<\/a> on the Kashmir issue sparked the outrage against the actor.<\/p>\n

In the backdrop of this, a picture of Khan standing with two people started going viral on social media platforms. The caption written above the photo claimed that he had met Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorists, Junaid Samshed and Maulana Tariq. According to the caption, both of them had met with him during his visit to Mecca. Apart from this, a picture of Khan with Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi was also shared. One Twitter user dubbed him ‘anti-India’ while sharing these photos. (archived link to the tweet<\/a>)<\/p>\n
