The Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan is one of the most loved actors of the industry but he is on a break from work after the failure of Laal Singh Chaddha.
Actress Mona Singh who has worked with Aamir in two movies – 3 Idiots and Laal Singh Chaddha is very impressed with Aamir Khan and recently during an interview, she talked about Aamir Khan’s professionalism and intelligence.
Mona Singh stated, “I don’t call him when I’m troubled or ask him what to do, but when we are on the sets, I am very inquisitive and keep asking him bizarre questions. ‘Why is this important in the script? Why is something this way?’ He is so intelligent; he knows it all. He’s clear and sorted. I really respect him a lot. I feel I’m one of those lucky actors who got the chance to work with Aamir twice in two decades. I feel lucky and fortunate.”
She also talked about the box-office failure of Laal Singh Chaddha, she said, “Of course, it hurt. We shot for so long, bonded well, and made a beautiful film, but it didn’t get the desired response from the theater audience. We were all a bit broken. It saw new life on Netflix. Suddenly, people started talking about the movie, and there was so much appreciation and love pouring in. I knew there was disappointment in theaters, but in hindsight, I believe it will achieve cult status in the years to come.”
Mona also revealed that Aamir Khan gave a party to honour everyone’s efforts despite the movie not working at the box-office, she said, “Aamir sir is the only actor who could throw a party after a flop to honour everyone’s efforts. He said, ‘What if the film didn’t work? It shouldn’t stop us from celebrating.’ He invited everyone from the crew to the actors. He took responsibility for the film’s failure, and that’s why I have immense love for him. Everyone was happy because it was doing well on Netflix, and people started forming Facebook groups asking why it didn’t succeed in theaters.”
