Aamir Khan, Salman Khan and many other Bollywood stars met up with MNS chief Raj Thackeray recently to plan a vision for Mumbai.

Here's how the meeting turned out:

 

Aamir Khan was critical of the metro car shed proposed in city's green belt Aarey Milk Colony, in Goregaon, in the western suburb of Mumbai.

He claimed the Aarey milk colony should not be disturbed, and that the government should involve citizens in the development plan and seek their views to plan the future of Mumbai.

 

Quite a few imminent Bollywood personalities joined in the meeting, including Farhan Akhtar, Salim Khan, Javed Akhtar, Bharat Dabholkar and Riteish Deshmukh. Architect PK Das (extreme left) was also present.

 

The meeting was reportedly a non-political one and the actors came forward out of their concern for Mumbai city.

According to Thackeray, Javed Akhtar gave his MP fund of Rs 25 crore for the cleaning of drains while Riteish Deshmukh was present as an architect, not as an actor.
