Bollywood’s renowned actor, Aamir Khan, made a comeback on the set of his new film, ‘Sitaare Zameen Par,’ not just to the world of cinema but also to the virtual realm through a live Instagram session. Amidst the genial banter and the flurry of questions from fans, Khan was compelled to navigate through choppy waters as he encountered remarks from trolls that demanded his attention.
During this live interaction, as the actor graciously fielded queries and comments, a particular fan’s advice regarding his choice of stylist took him by surprise. Aamir, who appeared wearing merchandise from the film ‘Laapataa Ladies,’ retained his composure and humorously defended his sartorial pick, remarking, “This looks good,” while also acknowledging the subjectivity of style with a candid, “My style is unique, so not everyone likes it.”
The session, however, took an odd turn when a troll accused the actor of seeming like he was under the influence of drugs. Khan, taken aback, dismissed the assertion with a befuddled, “What are you saying?” as he continued to address his fans. Another troll brought up Aamir’s dance performance at Anant Ambani’s pre-wedding bash but pointedly asked why there was a conspicuous absence of such enthusiasm at his daughter Ira Khan’s wedding. With notable grace, Aamir clarified that he indeed danced at Ira’s wedding, emphasizing that the Ambani family shares a close bond with his own, often celebrating occasions together.
The star-studded revelry at the Ambani’s three-day extravaganza in Jamnagar, Gujarat, was a spectacle that featured an illustrious assembly of celebrities, including the likes of Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and a host of young stars. Khan fans were treated with aplomb as they witnessed Aamir join forces with Shah Rukh and Salman, swaying to the hit track ‘Naatu Naatu,’ a dance number that has gained international acclaim. In their respective black attires, the trio’s coordination and charisma were palpable, with Aamir, donning a stylish green kurta, keeping pace with the high energy.
The triumvirate of Khans not only charmed with their synchronicity but also by reintroducing individual iconic dance steps into the mix. Salman revived his famous towel step from ‘Jeene Ke Hai 4 Din,’ while Shah Rukh and Aamir infused the routine with their trademark flair. This exciting fusion of moves was warmly received by audiences, who were elated at the rare sight of Bollywood’s leading men sharing the dance floor after a considerable hiatus.
Adding a layer of glamour to the pre-wedding festivities, fashion icon Manish Malhotra was seen on the dance floor alongside popular starlets Janhvi Kapoor, Sara Ali Khan, Ananya Panday, and Khushi Kapoor. They together set the stage alight with their rendition of ‘Bole Chudiyan’ from ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham,’ much to the delight of all in attendance. Notably absent from this memorable jam was filmmaker Karan Johar, whose presence was keenly missed.
In the end, Aamir Khan’s impromptu Q&A session on the set of ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ accentuated the dichotomy of fan engagement in the modern era. While it enabled a direct connection with a global audience, it also opened the floodgates to criticism and unfiltered opinions. Khan’s approach to handling such situations not only reflects his professionalism but also underscores his commitment to maintaining a positive relationship with his audience, even when navigating through the unpredictable waves of social media interaction.
