Internet addicts have found a brand new way of insulting actors – by hurling abuses on their social networking sites, blogs or even homepages.
Their accounts on Twitter started their own websites or began writing blogs.
Take the case of actor Aamir Khan. The actor recently faced one of the most venomous abuses when someone posted a message on his website questioning Aamir’s post where he talks about one of the most painful experiences of his life – his wife Kiran Rao’s miscarriage. The person inferred that it was just a publicity stunt. Without reporting the person, Aamir just said,
“Whoever you are, may God help you.”
Even actor Amitabh Bachchan has been through a similar situation.
“Yes, there are some posts and responses that are not shown on my blog. It is because they are unfit for postings,” says Amitabh.

This might come as a surprise to all of you but Aamir Khan, who has been criss-crossing the country in disguise to promote his new film “3 Idiots“, has been denied permission to spend a day with the Indian Army’s cadets at the Officers Training Academy (OTA) in Chennai, Tamil Nadu.
“The film star had sent a request to the defence ministry to spend a day at OTA. But it has been declined and the ministry has not given any reason for it,” sources said. Aamir wanted to interact with the cadets and wanted to see their lives from close quarter.
Nearly 500 cadets from the Short Service Commission cadre pass out from the military institution every year. It is yet not clear whether Aamir wanted to spend a day at the army institution for his future project or to promote “3 Idiots” releasing this Friday.

‘Taare Zameen Par’, ‘Ghajini’ and now ‘3 Idiots’, Aamir Khan clearly considers Christmas week the best time to release his films, but the superstar says it is a co-incidence and not superstition that has resulted in the trend.
Despite his claim, Khan does agree that the date has worked wondegnrs for him and now hopes to be a third time lucky.
The actor’s directorial debut ‘Taare Zameen Par’ which was released on Christmas in 2007 went onto win a National Award while last year’s December release ‘Ghajini’ broke all box office records.
“I hope to be third time lucky with ‘3 Idiots’ but the release date is more of a coincidence than a planned move. I am not superstitious. Ghajini was supposed to be an October release, but it had to be postponed to December because I was injured,” Aamir told news agency.

Aamir Khan is suffering from the ‘worries of before release’. This time Aamir’s forthcoming flick “3- idiots” is ready for the release and going to hit the floors on the theaters shortly. To avoid his ‘release stress’ he wants to break his swear of quit smoking.
Mr. Perfectionist has recently finished shooting of his upcoming flick ‘3- idiots’ which is based on the famous novel of author Chetan Bhagat’s “Five Point Someone”. Aamir is nervous upon the reaction of the audiences for his forthcoming flick.
The actor has quoted in his blog that he was busy in his work for the upcoming flick 3-idiots for last one week and they have finished the last song of the movie. The movie has been finished the way they wanted. This is the stress and nervousness of a flick before release, what will be the reaction of the flick on box office and by the audiences.
He also mentioned that all these worries are forcing him to start smoking again but he will not smoke since he quit his addiction for some noble cause.

Aamir, who made his directorial debut with a sensitive film ‘Taare Zameen Par’ about problems faced by a dyslexic child in school, said the modern education should be directed towards making kids creative and original in thought rather than filling information in their heads through memorization. Khan is optimistic that with right reforms in the education system, many positive changes could be achieved in just a quarter century.
