Known for his out-of-the-box promotional strategies, Aamir Khan is once again turning heads—this time by hitting the streets of Mumbai to promote his upcoming film Sitaare Zameen Par. Ahead of its release, the superstar was spotted at a vada pav stall in Dadar, making the beloved Mumbai snack alongside a local vendor. Videos and pictures of the actor preparing and serving the street food quickly went viral on social media, sparking excitement among fans.

Wearing a casual outfit and his signature charm, Aamir smiled and interacted warmly with the crowd gathered around him. In one viral clip, as the actor busied himself preparing vada pavs, a fan could be heard in the background joking, “Arre hari mirch nahi hai na? Ek main hari mirchi utha raha hoon (There’s no green chilli, right? I’m taking one from here),” prompting laughter all around. The candid moment highlighted Aamir’s ease with people and his willingness to step out of his comfort zone to connect with audiences on the ground.

But that wasn’t all. Aamir also made a surprise appearance at a special screening of Sitaare Zameen Par, where he received a standing ovation from the audience. The actor reportedly got emotional witnessing such a warm response, with many fans praising the film’s heartwarming message and impactful performances.

While most Bollywood stars rely on glossy promotional events, Aamir’s grassroots approach seems to be striking a chord. Known for weaving social messages into his storytelling, the actor’s choice to promote his film in local Mumbai settings aligns with the film’s reported themes of inclusion and child empowerment.

Sitaare Zameen Par marks Aamir’s comeback to the big screen after Laal Singh Chaddha and is touted to be an emotional, family-centric drama. With buzz steadily building around the film, and Aamir’s latest public interaction winning hearts, the audience appears ready to welcome him back with open arms.
