Aamir asked Salman Khan and SRK to do a film together

Aamir Khan once encouraged Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan to collaborate on a film together. Aamir said, "I recently met Salman and Shah Rukh, and we were together. I told them that we've been in the industry for so many years, and it would be a disservice to our audience if we never did a film together during our careers. We only need one good story." He continued, "I spoke to Salman and Shah Rukh about this idea, and they agreed. They said, 'Yes, let's find a story.' In fact, Salman came to my house two days ago and brought me these jeans from his new collection. He always comes over with a box full of them whenever he gets a new batch." Aamir concluded, "All three of us are trying to make this happen. Let's hope we find a good story and a talented director to bring it to life."

How Aamir Khan deals with failure

Aamir Khan shared his experience after his film "Laal Singh Chadda" didn’t succeed. He expressed his disappointment and sadness, acknowledging the emotional investment and effort everyone put into the movie. Despite their best efforts, he admitted that the film had something missing that didn’t resonate with the audience. Aamir views such setbacks as learning opportunities. He believes that mistakes are the greatest teachers and has always learned the most from them throughout his career. When faced with failure, he reflects on what went wrong. For "Laal Singh Chadda," he felt that his performance was too high-pitched, which affected the film’s overall impact. He took responsibility for this and aims to improve in his future projects. Aamir emphasized the importance of analyzing failures to understand their causes and using those insights to improve. He is committed to learning from his mistakes and ensuring that he doesn't repeat them in his next film.

Aamir Khan doesn’t workout

Aamir Khan admitted he doesn't work out. When fans asked him how he stays fit, he said, "I must have inherited good genes from my parents. I can't take any credit for it. I don't work out or use face cream. When I first became an actor, I learned about shampoo; before that, I used soap. I haven't done anything to improve myself. I do it when I need to for a film, but I'm very lazy and usually don't do anything."

Aamir didn’t get his character in ‘Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke’

Aamir Khan, often referred to as Mr Perfectionist for his meticulous approach to roles, admitted he struggled to connect with his character Rahul in "Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke." He shared, "I couldn't grasp the character until the end. I was constantly searching for it and felt confused. I kept telling Bhatt sir that after the first week of shooting, the character still wasn’t coming together for me. Even when the film was completed, I felt the same. Bhatt sir reassured me, saying, 'It's correct. Your character is meant to be confused throughout the film, so your performance is spot on.'"

Kapil on his children not listening

When Kapil asked Aamir if his kids asked him for advice about work or life, Aamir joked that he feels like the phrase "Ghar ki Murgi dal barabar" for his children. He playfully mentioned that in his family, he tends to end up always saying yes, first to his parents and then to his kids. Aamir Khan later said, "I'm going to share something from my heart," he said, adding, "I'll tell you how I feel, but first, let me admit something. My children don't listen to me. When people hear this, they laugh out loud." Aamir explains why he felt the need to share this, saying, "There was a long discussion about what I should wear today." Archana Puran Singh praises him for looking well-dressed. He says, "I wanted to come in shorts, but they told me to wear jeans."
