The President's official X account (formerly Twitter) shared a picture with Aamir shortly after the screening, captioned, 'Acclaimed filmmaker and actor Shri Aamir Khan called on President Droupadi Murmu at Rashtrapati Bhavan.'
A review by Hindustan Times read, "Aamir is good at comedy, and here too he's back to that genre. He's at ease with his co-stars here, and the comfort translates. The first half is bearable only because of Aamir, and then he takes things a notch higher in the second one. Genelia complements him wonderfully as the supportive wife, and the cause of friction between them is thankfully not stretched beyond a point. Dolly Ahluwalia and Brijendra Kala are adorable in their roles and justify their short screen time with solid performances." About Sitaare Zameen Par
Backed by Aamir Khan Productions, the film introduces 10 newcomers: Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar, all of whom are specially-abled. Aamir Khan and Genelia Deshmukh headline the film alongside these rising stars. The film is an official remake of the Spanish movie Campeones.
Directed by RS Prasanna, the film hit theatres on 21 June. While it had a decent opening, the sports comedy-drama gained strong momentum over the weekend. As per Sacnilk, the film has now crossed the ₹ 100 crore mark worldwide in just four days.

Despite busy careers, they support each other fully. Known for So You Think You Can Dance and ABCD, Lauren balances acting, choreography, and dancing. Lauren Gottlieb , the actor and dancer, celebrated a beautiful new beginning by marrying Tobias Jones, a video creator and director based in London. Their wedding took place on June 11 in the stunning Tuscan landscape, marking a memorable moment in their journey together. Adjusting to Married Life Talking to Hindustan Times, the actress describes her shift into married life as a fresh experience, often catching herself saying 'my fiancé' before remembering it's now 'my husband.' She smiles as she admits that getting used to being 'Mrs.' is still a work in progress, calling the whole experience both surreal and grounding. Love Sparked by Creative Collaboration Their relationship started in an unexpected way—not through romance, but by joining forces creatively. Lauren laughs, clarifying that contrary to popular belief, she didn't slide into his DMs to flirt. Instead, she was reaching out to collaborate on visual effects projects. Spotting a video he made for another dance influencer, she thought, 'That's exactly the kind of work I want to do.'

He wasn't trying to impress anyone—he was just unapologetically himself. And once they saw that, they were in. My parents have always said it's going to take a very special person to be with me. I'm a lot— I'm spicy, high energy. And he gets me.' Despite their busy careers—Tobias as a creative director and Lauren juggling choreography, acting, and dancing—the couple supports each other wholeheartedly.
