In a recent chat with Mashable, Aamir Khan revealed, 'Yaar bohot interesting hua. Ira, Reena, everyone organised a birthday party for me on my 60th. They invited all my loved ones. It was a memorable day, like all the memories will stay with me. I don't drink much these, I've cut down alcohol consumption to almost zero. But that day, because it was my 60th birthday, everybody insisted that I have a drink. Toh maine kaha theek hai. Aur kyunki mujhe aadat nahi hai, bohot jaldi chadh gayi mujhe aur hua kya, main jab… I'm an extreme person. We started at around 7 pm, and by 9 pm, I knew that I was flying.'

Aamir went on to share, '60th birthday hai, sab log encourage bhi kar rahe the toh hum log achhe mood mein the. Hum log bolte hain naa yaar bada memorable day tha, woh memorable tha lekin mujhe memory koi… I have no memory of that day (laughs).' The actor revealed that there are videos and photos of his birthday party, where everybody said nice things about the birthday boy. But Aamir doesn't remember a thing because he suffered a 'clean blackout'.
Last year in an interview, Aamir revealed that he only smokes a pipe now and has quit drinking. He took the decision to go sober after his 'Devdas period' post the actor's divorce from his first wife Reena Datta in 2002. For a year and a half, Aamir shared that he went from a teetotaler to drinking a bottle of alcohol every day. Today, Aamir and Reena are friends and are also working together, while their children Ira and Junaid are all grown up.

Aamir Khan reveals he refused to edit 'Dangal' for Pakistan release; was asked to remove Indian flag and national anthem
Aamir Khan is ready to return to the big screen with his much-awaited film 'Sitaare Zameen Par'. But before that, many of his fans would remember that when 'Dangal' was released in 2016, it became one of Aamir Khan's biggest hits. While the film was praised across the world, it was never released in Pakistan . Now, years later, the actor has finally revealed the reason why. Why 'Dangal' was not released in Pakistan During a recent appearance on Aap Ki Adalat, Aamir opened up about the real reason behind 'Dangal' not being released in Pakistan. He revealed that the Pakistani censor board had made an unusual request. 'When the film was released, Disney was one of the producers; they presented it. Pakistan's censor had asked them to remove the Indian flag and the Indian national anthem from the scene where Geeta Phogat wins a match. They said they won't release this film unless this is done,' the 'PK' actor said. The producers were worried that skipping the Pakistan release could hurt the film's earnings. But Aamir made his decision instantly — and stood firm on it. The 'Rang De Basanti' actor further added, 'Within a second, I told them that our film will not be released in Pakistan. I did not want to think about it either. They said this might impact our business. I said, 'I have no interest if somebody asks me to remove our national flag and national anthem . I do not want this.' Despite not releasing in Pakistan, 'Dangal' went on to become a massive blockbuster across the world. It not only dominated the Indian box office but also broke records internationally. According to Sacnilk, 'Dangal' achieved a staggering worldwide collection of Rs 2070.3 crore, making it one of the highest-grossing Indian films. Aamir's next film: 'Sitaare Zameen Par' After taking time away from films, Aamir Khan is now all set to return with 'Sitaare Zameen Par', which hits theatres on 20 June 2025. This film, directed by R. S. Prasanna, is a sports comedy-drama where Aamir plays a fun and confident coach. 'Sitaare Zameen Par' stars Genelia Deshmukh alongside Aamir and introduces ten new actors to Hindi cinema. These include Aroush Datta, Samvit Desai, Rishi Shahani, Simran Mangeshkar and others.

Aamir Khan To Release Sitaare Zameen Par In Over 3,000 Screens In India
Last Updated: As per the latest report, Aamir Khan is determined to keep the film exclusively for theatrical release. Aamir Khan's upcoming film Sitare Zameen Par, directed by RS Prasanna, has generated significant buzz among movie enthusiasts. The film delves into powerful themes of inclusion, empathy and resilience, told through the inspiring stories of children with special abilities. Determined to make the film a success, Aamir Khan is going all out with its release strategy. According to recent reports, the actor plans to launch the film across approximately 3,000 screens nationwide. According to a report by Pinkvilla, Aamir Khan and his distribution team initially planned to release Sitare Zameen Par on 1,000 to 1,500 screens across India, with the intention of expanding based on audience demand over the opening weekend. However, the strategy has since evolved into a full-scale nationwide release. As per sources cited by the portal, several single-screen theatre owners and non-national multiplex chains approached Aamir Khan, expressing interest in screening the film at their venues starting June 20. A source known to the entertainment portal said, 'Though the genre has its limitations in the post-pandemic, the exhibitors are confident that the Aamir Khan factor, coupled with strong content, will draw audiences in larger numbers over the weekend. The exhibitor support for Sitaare Zameen Par is also coming from the 'No OTT' stance taken by Aamir Khan. The film will now release on 3000 to 3500 screens all across the country." Moreover, with Sitaare Zameen Par, Aamir is making a game-changing move by refusing to sell the OTT rights to any platform, despite repeated offers. According to sources, the actor is determined to keep the film exclusively for theatrical release. Initially developed in collaboration with Sony Pictures, the film eventually became a solo venture for Aamir after the studio expressed reservations about the big-screen-only strategy. In response, Aamir reportedly bought back full control of the project, ensuring complete creative and distribution authority. Sitaare Zameen Par is a sports comedy-drama starring Aamir Khan alongside Genelia Deshmukh. The film is described as a spiritual sequel to Khan's 2007 critically acclaimed Taare Zameen Par and is an official remake of the Spanish film Champions. The movie also marks the Hindi film debut of several newcomers, including Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar.

'Mujhe laga ab toh maut...'; This actress made shocking revelation, was forced to work for 17 days straight without..., her name is...
This famous actress began her journey under the spotlight with television's most iconic family saga and gradually carved her space in the world of cinema. From emotionally charged scenes in daily soaps to holding her own alongside Bollywood legends in a grand period drama, this actress proved her versatility with grace. However, recently she has revealed something about her hectic work schedule that almost caused trouble in her life. Television Industry's Most Renowned Face… Here we are talking about actress Apara Mehta, best known for the television series Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. She additionally participated in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's movie Devdas. Hailing from Bhavnagar, Gujarat, Apara is her parents' sole offspring and is well-acquainted with the life of a performing artist. From a young age, she began studying classical music and Kathak. At 15 years old, she presented a children's TV show for Ahmedabad Doordarshan. Apara recently discussed her experience of working on both projects at the same time. Apara Discusses About Her Working Experience In a recent interview with Friday Talkies, Apara Mehta reminisced about shooting for 17 days straight without sleep for both Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi and Devdas at same time. She stated, 'During Diwali in the year 2000, I received a call on my landline. The voice on the other end responded, I am Sanjay Leela Bhansali. I was rendered speechless. I was preparing potato tikkis then. During that moment, I was unable to speak to him. After that, he invited me to meet him. I promptly went to his home. Upon arriving at his house, Leela's sister greeted me at the door and joyfully informed me in Gujarati that she had recommended your name.' Following multiple meetings, Apara learned that she would need to film for 12 days for the mujra song 'Kahe chhe chhe mohe' from Devdas. She mentioned, 'I believed I could change the shooting schedule for the show Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, but that shoot was prolonged to 17 days.' She further said, 'Iske baad main 17 dinon tak bina ruke kaam kiya tha, jiske baad mujhe ehsaas hua ki aage sirf maut hi hai, aur mujhe hospitalized hona pad gaya tha.' Apara further mentioned that she often attended the filming of Devdas with bloodshot eyes from sleep deprivation. Yet it was an experience on its own. Seeing the Devdas set made me happy, which felt like paradise. More about Apara On the personal front, in 1980, she wed Indian television and film figure Darshan Jariwala, with whom she shares one daughter, Khushali Mehta. The two have parted ways by mutual agreement but are not formally divorced. Segments of their private life were featured in the reality program Maa Exchange, which was broadcast on Sony Entertainment Television.
