Aamir Khan, the celebrated actor, recently graced the sets of Kapil Sharma’s show, regaling the audience with his cherished memories and anecdotes from his illustrious career. One particularly heartwarming moment that he recalled was his experience while filming ‘Dangal’ in the picturesque state of Punjab. The villagers’ outpouring of love and respect left an enduring imprint on his heart. Every morning, as he arrived on set at the break of dawn, the villagers would stand outside their homes, their hands folded in a gesture of reverence, uttering the greeting ‘Sat Sri Akaal.’ This daily ritual, repeated for over two months, filled Aamir with a profound sense of gratitude and connection.
Growing up in a Muslim household, Aamir was accustomed to the gesture of ‘adaab,’ where one bows their head respectfully. However, the collective greeting of ‘namaste’ that he witnessed in Punjab transcended religious boundaries, conveying a universal message of warmth and hospitality. It was in that moment that he realized the true power of this simple yet meaningful gesture.
Aamir also shared his experiences while filming the much-talked-about nude scene in ‘PK.’ He admitted to having sleepless nights prior to the shoot, grappling with feelings of embarrassment. However, once he stepped onto the set and immersed himself in the character, those feelings dissipated. His primary focus shifted to ensuring that the scene was executed with authenticity and poignancy.
Aamir’s anecdotes, imbued with humor and humility, captivated the audience, offering a glimpse into the personal and professional journey of one of Indian cinema’s most celebrated icons. His experience on the sets of ‘Dangal’ serves as a testament to the transformative power of human connection, while his reflections on the nude scene in ‘PK’ underscore the importance of embracing vulnerability and authenticity in the pursuit of artistic expression.
