Salman Khan Says Aamir Offered Him Sitaare Zameen Par, Jokes 'Iska Paperwork Chal Raha Tha'
The superstar, who attended the premiere to support his close friend Aamir Khan, jokingly claimed Aamir had once offered him the film's script before deciding to do it himself.
Salman Khan brought the house down at the Sitaare Zameen Par premiere with his trademark humour. The superstar, who attended the premiere to support his close friend Aamir Khan, jokingly claimed that Aamir had once offered him the film's script before deciding to do it himself.
Speaking to the paparazzi at the red carpet, Salman said, 'Isne story nahi bataayi na picture ki?" He continued, 'Isne mere ko bulaya tha ye subject dekhne ke liye… main chala gaya mujhe bahut achi lagi picture… maine haan bhi keh di… mere ko phone aata hai ki, 'main kar raha hu picture.' Maine itni tareef kari ye picture ke baare mein ki Aamir main phaad dunga iss picture mein….it is outstanding."
Taking a fun jab at Aamir's personal life, he added, 'Isne bhi bola mere ko bhi ye picture bahut achi lagi par uss waqt ye kaam nahi kar raha tha, uss waqt thoda sa load tha… scripting… paperwork pe kaam chal raha tha iska uss waqt." The crowd chuckled, interpreting it as a lighthearted reference to Aamir's divorce from Kiran Rao.
Salman further recalled, 'Toh maine bola bahut achi picture hai mere ko karna hai toh mujhe iska phone aata hai ki… Also, isne mujhe bola tha ki main pehle kar chuka hu yaar ye tere ko suit karega…" Aamir, ever the sport, jumped in and said, 'Aisa ho sakta ki wo haan bole aur main beech mein aaun?"

Viral Video Shows Chandigarh Food Stall Selling Veg Chilli Chicken, Confuses Internet
In India, food isn't just about flavour, it is also about identity. And one debate that refuses to cool down is the age-old clash between vegetarians and non-vegetarians. From dinner tables to social media threads, people across the country love to argue over what's healthier, tastier, or more authentically "Indian." Our culinary landscape has long been a melting pot of such heated conversations. The veg vs non-veg divide has sparked fresh discussions, with passionate voices on both sides. Now, cutting through the seriousness of the debate, a food vlogger's hilarious take on the issue has gone viral online. Shared on Instagram, the clip features vlogger Jonas at a food stall in Chandigarh that's serving up something called 'Veg Chilli Chicken'-- a dish that has left the internet scratching its head. In the video, Jonas says, "We are in Chandigarh and they've cracked this whole veg-non veg debate. Nowhere in India are they as innovative as here." Pointing to the stall's signboard, he adds, "Here, they have veg chilli chicken. Nowhere in India will you see this innovation, only in Chandigarh." Watch the video here: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jonas | Swedish Tourist (@iamjonasax) The clip soon went viral. A user commented, "Chicken identify as a vegetarian." Another joked, "The chicken was vegetarian, you misunderstood it." "Welcome to Chandigarh mate," a comment read. A user commented, "I saw a place in Mumbai selling Veg Hamburger." Another clarified, "It is really veg I have eaten it is made up of soya." Nowadays, vegan meat is becoming a popular alternative for people who want the taste of meat without actually eating animals. Made entirely from plants, this mock meat is crafted to look, feel, and taste like the real thing. It usually contains ingredients like soy or pea protein for that meaty texture, wheat gluten for chewiness, and sometimes even jackfruit or mushrooms for a fibrous, savoury bite. Legumes like lentils and chickpeas are added for protein, while veggies like beetroot give it a nice colour and juiciness. Oils like coconut or sunflower help with that fatty, juicy feel we associate with meat. To top it all off, a mix of spices and flavourings gives vegan meat its bold, meaty flavour, making it a solid choice for burgers, nuggets, kebabs, or even mince.

Sitaare Zameen Par audience reviews: Aamir Khan's film wins hearts with strong word-of-mouth - ‘A learning for all'
After a three-year hiatus from the big screen, Aamir Khan is finally ready to return to cinemas with Sitaare Zameen Par, which hits theatres on June 20. Directed by RS Prasanna and co-starring Genelia Deshmukh , the film is being positioned as a spiritual successor to the 2007 classic Taare Zameen Par, this time spotlighting themes of inclusivity, empathy, and determination through the lens of sports. While a star-studded screening was held in Mumbai on Thursday evening, what's stood out is the positive buzz from a special public screening Aamir hosted a week before the release. Several early viewers have shared emotional and enthusiastic reactions, praising the film for its message and heart. Viewers call it 'a learning for all' One viewer described the film as powerful and educational, saying, 'It's a learning for all — not only for special children, but for everyone. It's a great movie. I think it's going to be a great success. I'd give it a 4.9.' Another audience member appreciated the emotional depth, especially the protagonist's conversations with a character named Kartar. 'There's a very beautiful message. The last scene was especially touching — when he says that special people feel more than we do. I'd give it 4.5 out of 5.' One excited viewer said they plan to rewatch it, 'Benchmark was literally here, but it went up. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo It's a family movie, very entertaining.

Sitaare Zameen Par day 1 box office estimates Despite Aamir's star power, trade analysts and theatre owners believe the film's performance will heavily rely on word-of-mouth. Early estimates suggest that Sitaare Zameen Par may open between Rs 11 to Rs 15 crore on its first day, a healthy number that could grow with strong weekend traction. Story and Cast Sitare Zameen Par features Aamir Khan as a basketball coach mentoring ten differently-abled individuals, each portrayed by newcomers. The film focuses on their journey of growth, empowerment, and acceptance through sport. The cast includes Genelia Deshmukh and specially-abled debutants Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar. The film is an official remake of the 2018 Spanish hit Campeones, which was later adapted into the Hollywood film Champions, starring Woody Harrelson.
