I am not too sure, but I think this is the first time I have met him. And I am a huge fan of the actor that he is, and what he has tried with cinema throughout his career. I am a huge fan, and I think 100 years from now, if there is a book written on Indian Cinema, there will surely be 1 chapter dedicated to Aamir.”
He further expressed his admiration for Aamir’s awareness and passion for cinema both nationally and globally, stating,
“He is just a pathbreaker in so many different ways. I am a huge fan of what that man has achieved and is constantly striving to be. So, what took me by surprise was how aware he was of what I had been doing. That’s when I realise that he has been intuned with cinema across the country and world, which I should not have been surprised by. You know, because he is Aamir Khan. Of course, then we hit it off, and he is genuinely a lovely guy if you have ever met him.”
