Aamir’s republic day celebration

Kiran Rao’s film ‘Dhobi Ghat’ entered into controversies when the washermen objected to the title of the film claiming it to be offensive. Aamir Khan had then apologized to them for it and had even offered to change the title of the film. Later the Akhil Bharatiya Dhobi Mahasangh let them keep the title intact because firstly they realized that the film was about the place in Mumbai and did not present the community in a bad way and secondly because they loved Aamir too much to make him suffer any losses.

So, this Republic Day, Aamir Khan was out to win the support of washermen community in Mumbai. He hoisted the Indian National Flag, at the Mahalakshmi Dhobi Ghat, in Mumbai.

The film released in India on the 21st of January 2011 and has not done very well uptil now. Besides Aamir, the film stars Smita Patil and Raj Babbar’s son Prateik Babbar, along with Monica Dogra and Kriti Malhotra.
