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

Isn't Aamir,Sharuk,Salman,3 Muslims becoming biggest stars of a Hindu country proof enough that india is tolerant?

It's the celebs need for creating drawing room debates to increase their popularity which flares up non existent negativity btwn communities

If u are really feeling like a family and there's a problem in the family,family members in public wont say theres intolerance in the family
— Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) November 24, 2015
The fact is that the vast majority connect only to individuals deeds and generalised hard feelings are nothing but juvenile noises
