Actor Aamir Khan may be all praises about Rani Mukerji's latest release Mardaani, but he says that the film has violence and children shouldn't be exposed to such things.(Also Read - Aamir Khan Praises Mardaani: Rani is Superb, so is Tahir Raj Bhasin)
The censor board awarded a A-certificate to Mardaani, which focuses on child trafficking. But Rani is trying to re-certify the film so that children above 12 years of age can view it.
When asked about the same, Aamir said, "There are some words in the film that I would not want my children to see. I also feel that very small children should not see this kind of violence. I don't want an eight-year-old child to see that. That's what I think."
"I know Rani may have a different opinion. She is a close friend of mine and I respect her, but I feel the film does have a certain amount of violence," he said.
Aamir feels that "we have become insensitive towards our children that we show them almost anything."
"Sometimes absurd things are shown in U and U/A (certified) films. I think we have to be much more careful with the kind of violence we are exposing our children to. I have a certain responsibility towards what I am showing to my children. I have to fulfill my responsibility," said the father of three. (
