Bollywood actor Aamir Khan recently flew to Turkey to resume shoot for his next movie Laal Singh Chaddha. The shoot of the same was halted due to coronavirus pandemic.
After the actor landed in Turkey, his images with obliging fans with selfies and pictures went viral on social media. Now Aamir has once again attracted the attention of netizens after he met Turkish First Lady Emine Erdogan on an official visit in Istanbul.
“I had the great pleasure of meeting @aamir_khan, the world-renowned Indian actor, filmmaker, and director, in Istanbul. I was happy to learn that Aamir decided to wrap up the shooting of his latest movie ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ in different parts of Turkey. I look forward to it!” Emine wrote on Twitter after holding a meeting with Aamir. She even shared many pictures of the two from their official meet.

Some netizens pointed out that amid strained ties between India and Turkey, it was unwise on behalf of Aamir to hold an official meet with the Turkish First Lady. India’s relationship with Turkey has deteriorated in the past several months, particularly after Article 370 was scrapped in Kashmir last year.
A Turkish foreign ministry spokesperson recently also commented that removal of the special status of Jammu and Kashmir has not contributed to peace and stability in the region.
Here’s how netizens reacted:

For the uninitiated, it is reported that Aamir will soon begin his 40-day-schedule of Laal Singh Chaddha shoot in Turkey.
