Aamir Khan, famously known in Bollywood as Mr. Perfectionist, recently he confessed that he misjudged Salman Khan during the shooting of the film Andaaz Apna Apna. At the time, Aamir Khan believed Salman was unreliable and lacked seriousness, largely because of his casual approach and lack of punctuality. However, over the years, he came to realise Salman was very different from his assumptions. The revelation came when the two Bollywood superstars appeared together on Twinkle Khanna and Kajol’s new talk show, Two Much. In a candid chat, Aamir Khan openly admitted that his perception of Salman Khan had been unfair, acknowledging the bond they share today is much stronger.
Aamir Khan Opens Up About His Judgements
The Laal Singh Chaddha star spoke candidly about their friendship, revealing, “It happened when I went through my divorce with Reena. If you remember, you had come home for dinner and that’s when Salman and I connected properly.” He recollected, “Before that I used to feel yeh time pe nahi aata, mujhe bahot problem huwi thi during Andaz Apna Apna. I was, back then, very judgmental. I was very harsh as a person ki ‘Yeh thik nahi hai, woh aadmi thik nahi hai, yeh aisa karraha hai, yeh thik nahi hai.’ It was too hard; not only for others, but myself also. Then I realised ki hum sab insaan hai, humse bhi galti hoti hai. I went through a kind of sea change.”
Salman Khan Addresses Aamir Khan’s Remarks
Aamir Khan shared that his view of Salman shifted only after his divorce. In response to Aamir’s earlier impressions, Salman remarked: “The thing was there because we were working together in Andaz Apna Apna. Mr Aamir Khan, at that point in time, used to show up on the set at 7:00 am on a 9:00 am shift.”
He playfully remarked: “Because he had one film, I had 15 films. I used to work from 7-2, then 2-10 and then 10-5. By the time I came, I used to be very (tired). He used to go on with his rehearsals. He would rehearse every scene multiple times. I’d say, ‘Jab iska final ho jaye, mujhe bula lena.’ At that point of time, he thought that I was not interested in my work. How can anyone not be interested in his work when he’s doing three shifts at a time?”
