Aamir Khan is gearing up for his next release Sitaare Zameen Par that's the remake of the Spanish film Campeones. After Laal Singh Chaddha, this is another remake by the actor. He has been giving a lot of interviews for the promotions and in one of them, spoke about his ex-wife Kiran Rao.

He added, 'They would try to talk, apologise, make things right, but I'd shut them out completely. It was like hitting a wall. That level of ego, where you're unwilling to come down from your 'moral high horse,' is dangerous.'
The actor revealed some more details and said, 'She finally broke down and asked me what she had done wrong. She said she felt cut off from my life. I wanted to comfort her, to say 'It's okay,' but I couldn't. The words just wouldn't come out. That's when I realized how unforgiving I had become.'
Khan continued saying, 'I wasn't yelling, I wasn't reacting, I just went silent. And silence can be far more painful than shouting. It's much harder for your partner to handle.'
Khan made his Bollywood debut in 1988 with Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak at the age of 23. 37 years later, his mother who's 90 years old is making her acting debut with his upcoming film Sitaare Zameen Par which releases in cinemas on June 20. The actor has even spoken about it in a statement that has gone viral.

Khan was quoted saying, 'Normally, Ammi doesn't say she wants to come to my shoot. So, I don't know what she felt, but the morning of the song shoot, Ammi called and asked, 'Aap kahan shooting kar rahe hain? Humko bhi aana hai shooting pe aaj' (Where are you shooting today, I also want to come).''

‘AR Rahman always brings an element of surprise,' says singer Madhushree: ‘He adds his touch later, and it turns out to be magical'
Renowned playback singer Madhushree, who has carved a niche for herself in both Bollywood and South Indian cinema with her soulful voice and timeless songs, recently opened up about her creative process and experiences with some of the biggest names in the music industry during an interview with O2India. One name that inevitably came up in the conversation was that of Academy Award-winning composer A.R. Rahman. Reflecting on her collaborations with Rahman on iconic tracks like 'Kabhi Neem Neem' and 'Marudhani', Madhushree shared how his style never fails to surprise her. 'Rahman ji always brings an element of surprise… whether it's this song or Kabhi Neem Neem, he adds his touch later, and it turns out to be magical,' she said. The singer revealed that often, Rahman records his parts after the initial track is laid down, adding a unique energy that transforms the song entirely. Also Read | Madhushree recalls collaborating with AR Rahman, Javed Akhtar for Kisna: 'Your romance is with your art, your voice' Beyond AR Rahman, Madhushree has also worked with a host of acclaimed South Indian music composers. Speaking of her experiences with them, she highlighted their distinctive approaches and artistic personas. 'Whether it's Yuvan Shankar Raja, Harris Jayaraj, or Rahman ji, they more or less follow the same process. First they compose the song, and then they give you the space to rehearse. That's where there's some similarity.' However, she emphasized a key difference that makes South Indian composers stand out: their deep involvement and clarity during the recording process. The singer siad, 'One thing about South Indian music composers is that they're so good, you never feel lost. They'll guide you with exact notations, where to pause, what expressions to use, they spell everything out, so you don't have to figure it out on your own. They are that good.' Madhushree went on to praise MM Keeravani specifically for his precision and directorial clarity during recordings. 'When you go to sing for M.M. Keeravani, you don't have to do anything, just follow whatever he says. All of them understand singers really well.' When asked about the key differences between South Indian and Bollywood music industries, Madhushree didn't hesitate to point out a cultural distinction she finds admirable. 'There, everyone works according to time. If you're called at 1 pm, the session starts at exactly 1. They are extremely punctual. They follow rules and regulations. That's the main difference.'

Was Aamir Khan fired from Shah Rukh Khan starrer Darr? Sitaare Zameen Par star spills truth
Darr was one such film that may have changed the trajectory of Shah Rukh Khan 's career in the film industry. He portrayed the negative shade brilliantly in Yash Chopra's film, also starring Juhi Chawla and Sunny Deol. King Khan's portrayal of an obsessed lover won him accolades. But can you imagine Aamir Khan in this role? Although he did not reveal for which role he was part of the film, he was in the movie until Yash Chopra decided to fire him. Talking to Zoom, Aamir Khan made a big revelation. While discussing the hit films he refused to do, the topic of Darr came up. He was asked about rejecting Darr. To this, Khan corrected the interviewer and revealed that he had been kicked out of Darr. Yes! You heard that right. Aamir admitted that he never said 'no' to the film. The reason for his being fired was that he demanded a joint reading session with the other actor. The Sarfarosh star wanted a joint narration from Yash Chopra, as it was a two-hero film, and it was a principle he followed. However, the ace director did not want it, so he fired Khan from the film. He further added that everyone has their way of working, and if there is more than one actor involved in a project, then they should listen to the narration together. However, this did not happen in Darr, and as a result, he was not included in it. 'Darr ko main na nahi bola tha, Darr ko maine haa bola tha. Mujhe Darr se nikala gaya tha,' said the actor. We wonder if the iconic cult movie would have been the same if Aamir had been a part of it. And if he was considered for Sunny Deol's role, then we might have seen the two Khans sharing the screen space. But some things are not meant to happen. Well, on the work front, Aamir Khan is geared up for the release of his upcoming film, Sitaare Zameen Par, which also stars Genelia Deshmukh. The film will hit the screens on June 20 and is said to be a spiritual sequel to Taare Zameen Par.

He cancelled thrice, but we finally listened to it together.' Shah Rukh Khan played the role of an obsessive stalker, Rahul Mehra, in Darr. He makes it his mission to woo Juhi Chawla's Kiran, despite her being in love with another man (Sunny Deol). At present, Aamir Khan is awaiting the release of Sitaare Zameen Par.
