Aamir Khan Sparks Language Debate
Aamir Khan, a famous Bollywood actor, was asked to speak in Hindi after voting in Maharashtra.
He first said, 'This is Maharashtra,' and spoke in Marathi.
Later, he spoke in Hindi when told his message would be aired in Delhi.
Many people on the internet were upset with him for not speaking Hindi.
They said he should speak Hindi since he makes Hindi movies.
Last year, there was a big debate about teaching Hindi in Maharashtra schools, which caused a lot of discussion on social media.
Aamir Khan refused to speak in Hindi initially, saying 'This is Maharashtra' and spoke in Marathi.
He later spoke in Hindi when told his message would be aired in Delhi.
Netizens criticized him for not speaking Hindi, with some calling for him to quit Bollywood.
The debate over Hindi vs Marathi resurfaced, similar to last year's controversy over teaching Hindi in Maharashtra schools.
The Maharashtra government had previously introduced and then reversed the order to teach Hindi in primary schools.
