Salman Khan Reveals Aamir Khan Ditched Him For Sitaare Zameen Par: Maine Haan Keh Di Thi, Phir Phone Aaya…
Salman reveals he wanted to do Aamir Khan’s Sitaare Zameen Par
At the premiere of his close friend Aamir Khan, Salman shared with the media that he was once considered for the film’s lead role. With a straight face and a cheeky smile, he told the paps, “Isne mere ko bulaya tha ye subject dekhne ke liye… main chala gaya, mujhe bahut achi lagi picture… maine haan bhi keh di… phir phone aaya ki Aamir khud picture kar raha hai.” He jokingly added, “Maine itni tareef kari thi picture ki ki Aamir bola, ‘main phaad dunga iss picture mein.’”
In true Salman fashion, he didn’t miss a chance to pull Aamir’s leg, slyly referencing Aamir’s personal life with, “Us waqt thoda sa load tha… scripting, paperwork chal raha tha iska.” The comment, which many took as a light-hearted nod to Aamir’s separation from Kiran Rao, drew amused chuckles from the audience and paparazzi alike.
Salman and Aamir share warm hug
As Salman continued narrating how Aamir assured him the film was more suited for him since he had previously done a similar role, Aamir jumped in mid-interview with a laugh, “Aisa ho sakta ki wo haan bole aur main beech mein aaun?” The camaraderie between the two stars was infectious and stole the spotlight.
