New Delhi: The multi-talented Aamir Khan, known as much for his remarkable performances on screen as for his substantial humanitarian contributions, has once again dazzled audiences—not just through his movies, but through his genuine commitment to bridging cultural gaps. Recently, his dedication to learning Marathi to better communicate with the local communities was brought into the spotlight by none other than Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan during an episode of the widely popular show, Kaun Banega Crorepati.
The ever-observant Amitabh Bachchan was quick to commend Aamir Khan’s efforts when the ‘Dangal’ actor appeared on the show. Bachchan expressed admiration for Aamir’s linguistic endeavors, noting, “I have seen the effort you have put into learning Marathi in order to communicate and connect with the locals. I’ve even heard you speak Marathi, and I must admit that I’m envious because I’ve been trying to learn it too, but I’m still not as skilled.”
Aamir Khan’s dedication to learning Marathi is not merely a personal challenge; it is a reflection of his broader commitment to cultural assimilation and understanding. Aamir has always advocated for engaging with communities beyond just mainstream narratives and has taken active steps towards community service and outreach.

This linguistic effort is just one aspect of Aamir Khan’s substantial off-screen influence. Often engaging in various philanthropic initiatives, Aamir has shown that his contributions to society extend far beyond the silver screen.

The father-son duo delighted viewers and the KBC set alike when Aamir burst into dance, grooving to the iconic ‘Jooma Chumma De De’ number from the Amitabh-starrer ‘Hum’.
Amidst this whirlwind of events, Aamir Khan remains occupied as he gears up for the release of his upcoming film, ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’. This highly anticipated movie is set to hit theaters on December 25 and stars Aamir alongside Genelia Deshmukh. The film, a poignant narrative, is expected to capture hearts with its evocative storyline and stellar performances.
