Aamir Khan told, “During Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahi. The cap (he wore in the film) became very popular. Everyone was buying that cap. That was the first time I noticed it (that he was a star). Though the first time I sensed it was after Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak.”
“People would just come everywhere to see me; I couldn’t walk on the road. I did a successful film, but I didn’t have a car. I used to travel by auto-rickshaw or bus, but after a point, I couldn’t. So I used to ask my uncle can I borrow your car, I have to go somewhere and there are people everywhere I go.”
On the work front, Aamir Khan is gearing up for the release of Laal Singh Chaddha alongside Kareena Kapoor, Mona Singh and Naga Chaitanya in pivotal roles. The film is slated to release in theatres on August 11, 2022.
