Aamir Khan Celebrates 60th Birthday with Signature Candidness and Humor
Last year, the acclaimed actor known for delivering cinematic gems such as ‘Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak’ and ‘Lagaan’ marked his 60th birthday by engaging with the media in his trademark candid style. Reflecting on that cheerful interaction, Aamir Khan expressed his appreciation for the media's celebratory approach, stating, “I am glad that the media celebrates my birthday this way. Honestly, birthdays don't really matter to me. I have turned 60 now!” His lighthearted tone immediately set a relaxed and jovial mood for the entire afternoon press conference.
A Cheeky Explanation for His Black Attire
During the press conference, a journalist pointed out Aamir's tendency to wear black on his birthdays, an observation that amused the actor greatly. He responded with a playful and witty explanation, saying, “I usually wear black. Nowadays, I am not as fit as I used to be, and a person appears slimmer in black!” This humorous remark once again showcased why his off-screen wit is as beloved as his powerful performances in blockbuster films like ‘Dangal’.
Brushing Aside the Weight of Age
When questioned about whether turning 60 felt significantly different, Aamir Khan brushed aside any notion of age weighing him down. He shared, “Not really. Even today, when I encounter someone who is 30 or 40 years old, I instinctively address them as ‘uncle’! I believe we all share this sentiment. Deep down, we all feel like we are 18 or 21 years old.” This perspective highlights his enduring youthful spirit, which continues to define his vibrant personality and approach to life.
A Nostalgic Holi Connection to His Birth
Adding a nostalgic and colorful touch to the celebration, Aamir revealed a special coincidence related to his birth. He recalled, “Sixty years ago, when I was born, it coincided with the first day of Holi. My mother told me that the nurse came and applied a tikka on my forehead. Interestingly, today is also the first day of Holi.” This festive memory made the birthday celebration even more meaningful, evoking imagery reminiscent of a vibrant scene from his film ‘Rang De Basanti’.
