Aamir Khan draws criticism on Twitter for meeting Turkish First Lady Emine Erdogan

<p>"I had the pleasure of meeting the world-renowned Indian actor", she says.</p>

<p>Reports claim that Aamir Khan flew to Turkey earlier this month. He is shooting for an upcoming film. The shoot had to be moved to Turkey because of the lockdown in India.</p>

<p>So clearly, it was under these circumstances that the actor decided to pay a visit to Turkey's first lady. However, Neitzens are unhappy with the meeting due to the deepening divide between India and Turkey.</p>

<p>Turkish President Recep Erdogan has gone out of his way to offend India. In February, the Turkish president expressed his support to Pakistan's Kashmir claim&nbsp;during an address to the Pakistani parliament. Earlier this month, Erdogan raised the Kashmir issue again&nbsp;while speaking to Pakistan's President Arif Alvi.</p>

Netizens fume as actor Aamir Khan meets Turkey's first lady Emine Erdogan

<p>Turkey's First Lady Emine Erdogan recently attracted criticism after she was spotted carrying a handbag that was priced $50,000 during her trip to Japan with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.</p>

<p>Photos of Emine Erdogan's arrival at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo with President Recep Erdogan caught the attention of social media users who were quick to point out $50,000 French high fashion luxury brand Hermes handbag of Turkey's first lady.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The price tag of the handbag was equivalent to a year's minimum wage of 11 people when Turkey is trying to recover from a currency crisis, reported Ahval news.</p>

<p>The Erdogans in the past have come under criticism for their lavish lifestyle, which critics claim, contradicts their seemingly humble and pious discourse.</p>

<p>"While the citizens struggle with price hikes, the Palace does not step back from luxury," Cumhuriyet newspaper remarked in reference to the 1,150-room presidential complex built under Erdogan's rule.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The limited edition bag in black shiny alligator variant is big enough to -- as it says in its description--- fit an iPhone Plus.</p>

<p>Similarly, US first lady Melania Trump stirred controversy with an ultra expensive Hermès Birkin black crocodile bag back in June.</p>

<p>The price tag of the luxury handbag was said to be about $63,000.</p>
