Aamir khan, the man of his words
Khan, who is in town for the premiere of his film Lal Singh Chaddha, has been filming at the school for the previous few days.
Zainab had approached the Taare Zameen Par actor while he was in Mumbai, as she had hoped to interview him for a long time. Khan had promised the youngster that he would give her the interview whenever he came to Srinagar.
Finally, the sixth-request grader was granted this week when the actor visited her school and consented to an interview for her radio show Chai Shai.
Zainab enjoys Aamir Khan’s movie
Zainab mentioned in the interview that she has been listening to Khan’s films with an audio descriptor and that Taare Zameen Par is her favorite among actor’s films.
Zainab’s grace
Though visually impaired, Zainab’s confidence and positivism talked volumes about her remarkable self while conducting the radio interview with him gracefully.
Zainab hosts a radio show for kids at the school, and as a result, she has been given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of interviewing Mr. Perfectionist.
The interview with Aamir khan
Zainab began introducing the radio show’s guest by calling him “The one and only, MR. Perfectionist, Superstar Aamir Khan.”
In terms of the interview, it all started with a query about how the actor liked living in Kashmir.
To which Amir beautifully replied, “I feel nice being in Srinagar. We were shooting in Kargil for the past one month and we have now completed that shoot and have come to Srinagar. Here we have a week of shooting and so, we are very happy to be here. The atmosphere is so good, Srinagar is so beautiful. We also went on a cruise with Kiran, her parents, my Ammi, and our family in Dal lake. So, I think Srinagar is one of the most beautiful cities in the country.”
Zainab also wanted to know what Aamir liked to do when he was her age and why he didn’t keep playing tennis.
He honestly replied by saying, ” I used to play a lot of tennis and I was more interested in sports rather than studies. I played all kinds of games like table tennis, tennis, hockey, field hockey, squash, and more.”
Conclusion of the radio show
The enjoyable radio program had a wonderful start and a terrific finish, with the small girl impressing Aamir with her singing and Aamir eager to complete the broadcast with his favorite song, “Tu Pyar ka Sagar hai…”
