A look at the top posts on social media from your favourite Bollywood celebrities:

Aamir Khan

After Shah Rukh Khan, it's Bollywood actor Aamir Khan who has spoken out against the rising intolerance in the nation. However, his comments have divided sentiments on social media with celebrities expressing their views on Twitter.

In a series of tweets, filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma wrote: 'If Aamir, Sharuk and Salman the three biggest stars of the Hindu country "India" are Muslims, I don't understand where intolerance is ?

'In a predominantly Hindu country, if 3 Muslims can become the biggest iconic super stars that itself proves the majority aren't intolerant. Some celebs complaining about Intolerance should be the last ones to complain becos they became celebs in a so called intolerant country. Isolated incidents cant be taken as sign of intolerance and the super stardom of 3 Muslims is proof enough of the vast majority's tolerance.'

Rishi Kapoor: 'Mr.&Mrs. Amir Khan. When things are going wrong and the system needs correction, repair it, mend it. Don't run away from it. That is Heroism!'

Sanjay Gupta: '"That was a disastrous statement for Kiran to make." Aamir Khan's next line after saying that Kiran wants to leave. Hear the full interview. THOSE ACCUSING AAMIR KHAN OF BEING INTOLERANT PL HAVE DA TOLERANCE TO WATCH DA WHOLE INTERVIEW. NOWHERE DOES HE SAY HE WANTS TO LEAVE INDIA.'

Paresh Rawal: 'Aamir is a fighter so he should not leave but change the situation in the country ! jeena yahan marna yahan ! A true patriot will not run away n leave his motherland behind in turmoil or in troubled times (if any )...don't escape - build it. If I believe this is my motherland then I will never talk about leaving it ....but I would if I had believed otherwise. Intolerance !PK did rattle the belief of Hindus but Aamir dint face the wrath of Hindu or THE MAJORITY n but was super hit n made crores !'

Subhash Ghai: ‘May I request everyone in debate today to watch 'pyar Ki Ganga bahe' on you tube-film industry was very concerned on communal hatred in 1990.’

Neetu N Chandra: '@aamir_khan Isn't that every mother's concern!Safety of their children.Visuals worry all of us. Rai ka pahaar bana diya, logo ne.'

Shirish Kunder: ‘Dear Anupam Kher, #AamirKhan was talking about Kiran Rao, not Kiran Kher. Hope this clears the confusion. Jai Ho.’
