WHAT?! Aamir Khan takes a 2 MONTH BREAK!
It is hard to imagine that the actor who has been hailed as the world’s biggest superstar, Aamir Khan to not live, breath and talk films almost incessantly. But when we came across this piece of news which was DROPPED by Khan himself, which is that of him taking a 2-month break, did come as a shocker. But, as much disbelief as we were in, we also began respecting him more than ever.
Why are we saying so? Well, turns out, Khan is not really intending to make us jealous by posting vacation pictures of him and his family from exotic places around the world, but, he is going into a full-on Phunsuk Wangadu mode as during a Facebook live chat that took place yesterday, “I have been travelling to different villages all day and I’m speaking to people from different villages about the Satyamev Jayate Water Cup (a competition in which villages compete to win prizes for the best watershed management work) and encouraging them. Some of them have already completed their training so Kiran Rao (His wife, for the slow-witted) and I will travel around Maharashtra in the months of April and May and go to different villages where work is happening and work with the villagers and discover wonderful stories which are very inspiring.”
To which, he added, “You must know that all the success that you see in these villages is all their own efforts. We have not given them any monetary help. We have only given them knowledge and encouraged them”
After reading this, we wonder why the song ‘Behti Hawa Sa Thaa Who” from 3 Idiots is playing in our heads.
Also, we think that there’s a good possibility that his philanthropic gig was a pre-decided one, because, we think that not even Aamir Khan can take a 2-month hiatus from a YRF film (In this case, Thugs Of Hindostan) at the last moment.
What’s your take on this? Let us know!
