From wearing jeans gifted by Salman Khan to the episode to revealing he never works out until it’s for a film; Aamir Khan’s revelations from The Great Indian Kapil Show

Aamir Khan, in his debut appearance on "The Great Indian Kapil Show," shared some intriguing insights. He expressed his desire to collaborate with Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan in a film, while also revealing that he doesn't work out. These revelations provided a unique glimpse into Aamir's personal and professional perspectives. Here take a look at some of the unseen footage from the episode.

Aamir Khan jokes Kapil didn’t let him sleep

Aamir Khan attended the show with a sore voice and jokingly blamed host Kapil Sharma. The Bollywood actor said, “Two weeks ago Kapil came to meet me. I was in Chennai. And he didn't let me sleep all night. No, we didn't do anything wrong. But he stayed awake all night. After that, my throat got bad. It's been two weeks and I'm not well.”

Aamir didn’t get his character in ‘Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke’

Aamir, who is known as Mr. Perfectionist, studies his characters before doing any film. He revealed that he didn’t find any relatable factors in his character Rahul. He shared, “I didn't get the character until the end. I kept looking for the character. I kept getting confused. I kept telling Bhatt sir that... After first schedule, in the first week, I thought, the character is not coming in. The shooting of the film is complete, but the character is not coming in. So, Bhatt sir said, ‘It is correct. In this film, you are always confused. So, your character is not coming in. This is the right performance for you.’"

Aamir Khan doesn’t workout

The actor took some fan questions, and when asked how he stays fit, Aamir revealed, “Ammi, Abba jaan ki genes thode achhe rahen honge. Mera isme koi credit hi nahi hai. Neither do I work out nor have I applied cream on my face. When I became an actor for the first time, I found out what shampoo is. I used to use soap. I haven't done a single thing to make myself better. When I get a film, I do it for the film. I'm very lazy. I actually don't do anything.”

How Aamir gets over things when a film doesn’t work out

Recently, my film Laal Singh Chadda didn’t work. I was very disappointed. I was very sad because we put so much emotion into the film. And every one of us tried our best in that film. But we didn't make a good film. There was something missing that the audience didn't like. So this is a chance to learn. Your mistakes teach you the most. Ever since I started acting in my career, I've learned the most from my mistakes. So when you make a mistake and you don't succeed, you get depressed and disappointed. But you should remember one thing… Why I wasn't successful, what was lacking? Try to understand that. That's what I do. What did I do wrong in Laal Singh? I think I made my performance a little high pitched in Laal Singh. So it didn't hold. The whole film spread. That's what I think. The whole burden was on me. I made a mistake. As a performer. So now I'll try to rectify that in the next film. I'll learn from the mistakes I've made once. Your mistakes teach you. Your mistakes are your biggest teachers.

Aamir advises a fan to quit alcohol

An audience member asks Aamir Khan, how to make the perfect peg as he is a perfectionist. Kapil and everyone express shock. Aamir Khan replies, “You want to become a perfectionist? Quit alcohol.”

‘I am not a perfectionist’

People call me a perfectionist. I have no objection to it. It's a good thing. They call me a perfectionist, but the truth is that I'm not a perfectionist. Because being a perfectionist is very boring. Do everything right. I don't believe in that. I believe in magic. When we do any work, I do creative work. Whatever work you do, there should be magic in it. When you do a shot, everything should be perfect, everyone has said the correct line, the focus is right, everything is right. It doesn't feel good. There's no magic in taking a perfect shot. I'm not happy until then. So the thing I run after is not perfection. It's magic. I run after magic.

Aamir told SRK and Salman that they should do a film together

Recently, I met Salman and Shah Rukh. We were together. And I said, we have been in the industry for so many years. It will be very wrong for the audience that we... During our career, if we don't do one film together, we can only make one. I spoke to Salman and Shah Rukh about this. They said yes, let's find a story. In fact, Salman came to my house two days ago. He gave me these jeans. Whenever he gets a new collection, he comes to my house with a box full of them. All three of us are trying to make a film. Let's hope we get a good story. Let's hope we get a good director to offer us a story.
