Superstar Aamir Khan celebrated another year by cutting a delicious birthday cake with close friend and former partner Kiran Rao on March 14. What's more intriguing is the special request he made of his loyal fans on the occasion.
As Khan turned 59, he took time to thank everyone who showered him with warm wishes. Standing alongside Rao and the talented cast of her recently released movie ‘Laapata Ladies', the actor-producer expressed his gratitude to the media.
He said “It truly means a lot that you all make an effort to acknowledge my birthday each year. This time around, I'm spending it with the special team behind ‘Laapata Ladies', a film our production house is extremely proud of.” Khan praised Rao's directorial prowess and called the movie “a profound exploration of humanity.”
But the real surprise came when Khan playfully asked his supporters, “Instead of gifts, do me a favor by watching ‘Laapata Ladies' in theaters. It's still playing near you. Consider it your present to me.” His quirky request highlights his dedication to excellent storytelling and promoting meaningful cinema.
‘Laapata Ladies' has garnered praise globally since premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival last year. Will Khan's fans heed his unique birthday wish and flock to theaters to catch this special film? Only time will tell if his engaging strategy works!
