In a heartfelt interview on Aap Ki Adalat, Aamir Khan revealed why Dangal was never released in Pakistan. Despite its international success, the Pakistani Censor Board demanded the removal of scenes showing India’s flag and national anthem during Geeta Phogat’s win. Aamir refused instantly, valuing integrity over profit. Disney, concerned about financial loss, was told firmly, “We won’t release it there.” Aamir stood by his values, stating he had no interest in doing business with anyone who disrespected national symbols. Recalling similar censorship during Sarfarosh, he emphasized how he’s always chosen principle over pressure—both on and off screen.
