Aamir Khan celebrated his 52nd birthday like he does every year, thanking the media for always being around to wish him. “It gives me great joy in the fact that you people celebrate my birthday every year.”
After cutting his cake, the superstar spoke about Shah Rukh Khan and ‘Thugs of Hindostan’ at length.
Aamir’s recent rendezvous with Shah Rukh Khan and the Netflix CEO Read Hastings had triggered a sensational rumour on the internet around a potential collaboration.
Clarifying the truth behind the rumours, Aamir said, “No. I met him twice in the last few months. Once at Ajay Bijli’s party, where we met after a long time.
It felt wonderful spending time with him. Recently, there was a get together. We are just meeting, just as friends. We are meeting casually, haven’t discussed work.”
On the rising number of controversies surrounding quotes sent out by actors, he said, “I’ve always been careful I don’t think I’ve been careless on giving my opinions on matters. I’ve always been careful and will hopefully continue to be so but also continue to say what I feel.”
Kangana Ranaut’s recent comments accusing Karan Johar of nepotism on his own show, had ruffled quite a few feathers.
“In General, I think it’s a very normal human emotion to try and help people who you love and care for. It doesn’t have to be someone who is part of your family; it could be someone you care for.
It’s a very natural emotion,” Aamir said, speaking on the widely criticised industry phenomenon.
