New Delhi:
Bollywood megastar Aamir Khan is known for keeping a low profile and is rarely seen making a public appearance. And it was only in 2018 that he made his Instagram debut, however he is rarely seen posting on the platform. When asked why, he replied, ‘’To be quite honest, I am a person who is in my own world half the time. So, I am not very often there on social media platforms. You can say I am not very communicative on social media.”
But does he take out time to read the comments on his posts on social media? “Yes, I do read them, occasionally. Especially, around my film’s release, I definitely do because I want to know what people feel about the film and my character. That’s the time when I go and particularly look for what people are saying,” says the actor.
Khan added that he doesn’t let too much of negativity affect him. “If someone is just making fun of me or attacking me for no reason, I don’t bother. Aise hi arbitrary log negative bol rahe hain, usse mujhse kucch farak nahi padta aur main uss par repond bhi nahi karta.”
''If someone gives me criticism, which is constructive, I take it seriously because that’s where I am learning. As an actor and a creative person, it helps me learn and grow,” he continues, “When people appreciate my work, it makes me feel nice. I understand what they’ve understood in the film, how they’ve perceived the character; they describe it and it’s a happy feeling that my work connected with them. Even at times when people say they don’t like my work and describe what they didn’t like, it helps me to improve myself. So, I am all for sensible criticism.''
On the work front, Aamir Khan will be starring in the Advait Chandan directed movie Laal Singh Chaddha. The film will also star Kareena Kapoor Khan along with renowned south Indian star Vijay Sethupathi in a pivotal role. The Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan will share the screen space after working together in 3 idiots. The movie is expected to be a Christmas 2020 release.
