Sinha, known for films like Ra.One and Tum Bin, fails to understand why everyone is focusing on what Kiran had to say but not Aamir.
"I have watched the video. He said a lot of nice things. He said lot of bad things happen but you feel safe and secure when punitive actions are taken against it.
"Aamir shared what his wife felt, and what he actually said was 'what a disastrous thing it was to say'. But everybody is discussing what Kiran said," Anubhav told PTI.
The director feels the government should take note of what an eminent and socially responsible personality like Aamir had to say.

People like Aamir and Shah Rukh (Khan) will never make sensational statements. They don't need headlines. They are the headlines. They (the government) need to pay attention and not ridicule him," he said.
Anubhav also condemned people, who have trashed Aamir on social media platforms, calling them "a bunch of nobodies". "The bunch of nobodies are riding on it. If Aamir has said something then the government will listen to it. It is between them.
