The most interesting person I've come across in recent times is Mr.Aamir Khan. He's had 2 movies since Lagaan (which was like 5 yrs ago). He's acted in RDB, the biggest piece of trash being hailed as a classic and contemporary film. He's run his mouth more than once, at venues he has no business in the first place. He's had a hush-hush failed marriage, escapade with his current wife under the media's glare. He's what I would call, a publicity machine of this decade. Even if he scratches his balls, it makes the headlines. Why? Coz he's the cool, right thinking, in-your-face "teenage" role model your mom will want you to be /your mom will want you to marry.
Aamir Khan is now on my growing list of frowning hippies, anti-establishment "activists". The others in this distinguished list include Arundhati Roy, Medha Patkar and the likes. However, this isnt a personal tirade against any of the aforementioned. Anyone who thinks so, your imagination is running wild.
Coming back, aaaah.. Yes. 5 Reasons Aamir Khan can't SHUT UP!!
1. He's growing old and grumpy. He's woken up to the fact that he cant continue to make a living out of acting after some more years. He ain't the Big B who still does heroic roles in his own sweet way.
2. His personal life was in shambles and everything happened under the media hype, RDB helped hide some of that. Now, he has to move on to his next movie. So what does he do, he pulls a stunt like this to create more hype and publicity for "Fanaa", which takes the limelight away from Kajol (making a superb comeback). That ways he hogs centerstage.
3. He wants to ensure his acting career doesnt undergo "complete destruction" which for my local readers is what "Fanaa" means. So the more press he gets, the better it is.
4. Refer the first 2 lines. He's not having any movies to act in nowdays. Looks like he's on his way to finding an alternative career.
5. The girls love him. The guys admire him. Rang De Basanti rubbed off on all the "jelly" minds of young India. It wont last for long as someone else will grab his place. Make hay while the sun shines is what Jr.King Khan is thinking.
At the outset, I thought of writing 10 reasons. But everything seems to be coming back to one. "Cheap Publicity". So for all you movie stars out there, get your ass and support some hippie cult. You're stars will start to shine. Long live democracy!!
