Aamir with Kiran at Ridhima Kapoor's wedding |
Omar (from Chicago): Will you be doing any more live performances?
Aamir: Well, I haven't done a live show since 'Dil Chatha Hai' but I do love interacting with my fans. Let's see if things work out, maybe in the second half of the year. Let me get back from Poland and see my schedule.
Guru: Does the state of the Hindu-Muslim relations in India worry you?
Aamir: I have to be honest and say yes. It's been worrying me for fifteen years now. I think the rise of the right wing was what caused me as a citizen to be alarmed, not as a Muslim but as an Indian. I think it's really important for all people that feel that way to come together and make a make a positive difference because I sincerely believe that there is no difference between two human beings. I think at this point of time in the world there is a great need for love and respect.
Bhavnai: From Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak till Rang De Basanti, how have you grown as an actor?
Aamir: I'm not a trained actor; I've not been to an acting school. For me the learning process has been whilst working. So I guess as your working, you hone your craft, you get better at your work and I have always tried to absorb from different areas. I love reading so I get a lot of input from reading and acting is really about trying to understand human beings, understanding different kinds of personalities and minds of people and that is one of the most important things for an actor. Of course then he has to execute that and bring out all those characteristics so observation is very important. It is a little difficult for me to comment on myself as to how I have improved over the years, maybe you can comment on that better? Have I in fact improved over the years and to what extent?!
Hassnain (from Germany): You started your career as an assistant director but after Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak you did not look back. So do you think you would ever go back to that?
Aamir: I would like to direct films at some point and I became an assistant essentially to learn about cinema and filmmaking. So that is a learning process for me and helped me in my work as an actor. I'm not ready for it yet but would at some point want to direct my own film.
Raj (from West Midlands): How did you feel when you visited the Golden Temple?
Aamir: I have to admit it was an amazing experience; the Golden Temple is the most peaceful place I have been to. When we walked in there, there is serenity to the place and there is live singing at all times, it's very difficult to explain in words but the place has a lot of piousness, serenity and peace. If you get a chance you must visit the Golden Temple.
Raj: Do you have a final message for all your fans?
Aamir: I would like to thank everyone for the kind of response they have given the film. I am so happy with the way the film has been received; it is so encouraging for me and so heart-warming. I want to thank everyone for the love and respect they have always shown to my work and films. It's been a great experience doing Rang De Basanti and I'm happy to be a part of it. What else can I say? Thanks! |
