Aamir Khan's Blog

May,03,2010

Hannabaya, Ashish, Rohit, Ayesha, Zeineb, Nouss, Prem, Simon, Shahina, and friends.

It was such a pleasure to meet all of you yesterday. I hope that you were well looked after, and had a good time. And made your way back home safely, because I know that some of you came from quite far.

I really enjoyed meeting all of you. Thank you so much for coming.

Please feel free to share your thoughts and experience with all the other bloggers. And of course the photos. I really should work on my site to make it better so all of you can post photos and videos too. One of these days.... soon....

All those of you who live in and around Paris, and wanted to come but were not picked, my apologies. Much as I would love to meet all of you, as you would understand, it is impossible to acomodate everyone. And thatnk you for being so patient and sporting.

And all my dear dear bloggers... hopefully, god willing, I will live long enough to make it to all the cities that you have invited me to... and so will you!

To my fellow Maharashtrains HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I really missed being home on 1st of May to celebrate completing 50 yrs. Jai Maharashtra!!!

In Cologne today, and sitting opposite one of the most beautiful cathedrals I have seen in my lives.

Much love.

Book Launch: "HOW TO WRITE COMMENTS AND GET AAMIR'S RESPONSE"
Get free suggestions and get a response from Aamir (It really
works!!)

Extracts from the book:
1. You should have a name strating with "P" or may be "S" ...It
helps...
2. Be amongst the initial responders
3. Be online when he is online .
4. If you ask questions related to his movies and its screening
and distribution....it never fails.
5. Once you do get a response, probability of you getting more,
increases
6. Barso ki Tapasya!!!( Patience reallllllyyy helps!!)
@ Aamir,
We all love you for responding so regularly and promptly!!!
Love Always!!!

Posted on May,12,2010 at 07:11 PM

Hello AAMIR
Popping in here to see you pondering on your Internet activity.
:-)

Well, Facebook handled your chat with lakhs of people real well,
so I would use FB for some of those rocking features. Also if you
want to see what your bloggers are up to, well, you can visit
their page, right?

The blog is already real fun with many of the people who make it
along with you. I think the only suggestion I would make having
in mind everyone's privacy and safety would be to be able to have
an "Ignore" or "Block" button so that we can come here to read
and post what really matters to us and can skip spam, for
example.

That would really make the experience much nicer for some of us.

Sending hugs and hoping you are doing well.

Hey Aamir,

do whatever you want to do (as if I needed to tell you *that*)
but please do not abandon this blog.

It's always nice to read your long-winded (your own words! :-P)
stuff. Especially when they contain books you are reading or have
been reading.

In any case, you should tell you blog techies to review a few of
the blog mechanics. Such as the impossibility to copy and paste
or the use of certain letter combinations.

Thank for your words to Mimi Pineda's Mom.

Aline, Dihya, Cecilia, Cheryl and all AK family I have written to

@ eles , joanna

well i guess my suggestion of joining Twitter hasnt gone well
with u guys.

MY APOLOGIES!!!

but there was a reason why i wrote twitter..beacuse we have seen
and read that aamir ji cannot handle both....so if he joins
facebook again then the Blog will suffer and we dont want that.
Do we?

so the other option was Twitter if any
?
Yes it has word limit..and yes thats the exact point.He can be to
the Point without any unwanted stuff...we can get to know small
things of aamir sir's daily activities and wht is he upto on a
certain day.

Aw shucks SCATTY_KAT,

I was just kidding. I thought my post that was full of spelling
mistakes (a no no in scrabble) would make it obvious.

Thanks for the invitation, but scrabble starts boring me to death
after about 5 minutes.
Infact that is probabaly true for every board game out there. I
used to enjoy them a lot back in the days, but now I become
impatient really quick which often leads to my undoing.

Aamir,I suggest to you(although you wont probably read this...)
that in the near future you come to Belgrade(capital of
Serbia)...(I wrote something similar in one comment but I have to
write it again...:) )...Because here you have a lot of fans
although Serbia is a little countrey and despite the fact that
Indian movies are not sufficiently present in our cinema!
I wish you all the best!

Posted on May,12,2010 at 04:04 PM

Me again…

Aamir,

I believe that if you can get your site developed properly you
may not even need Facebook to interact with folks. (And please
don’t go to Twitter!) But of course, Facebook is a good place to
see friends’ pictures, status updates, etc., so I suppose FB
would be more of a platform for you to see what your fans are up
to rather than the other way around.

The main issue with your FB page is that it tends to get clogged
by folks posting quizzes, etc., so comments or discussions tend
to get lost.

This could really be the chance to get really innovative with
your site. The IT teams for the promotional sites for both
Ghajini and 3i added some wonderful features. Of course, there
were a few glitches, but overall, both sites were very well done.
I suppose it all just depends on how you want to use the
internet to interact with folks, and how much time and effort you
want to put into it.

Just a thought.

Hope you’re doing ok,
~Joanna

in the US and a lot of people haven't heard of your great films
yet)
I've also been spreading around the youtube video of your talk
with hillary clinton (i even cited it in a paper i wrote about
teaching ethics to children in school)
I've learned a lot from Alfie Kohn about progressive education
Please check him out and let me know what you think.
you are a great inspiration to me. it is great that you are
putting education in the forefront of everyone's mind.

Aamir, as ark wonders--any chance of you being part of the
faculty for this course?

Snowwhite--nice to read your comments for me. I am there on
fb--you? A lot of us bloggers are there actually--with Aamir
being one of the 'friends'--he joined fb to promote 3i , so, not
active now.

Many of us are in touch by email, a few have met personally. I
have met one blogger--ark.

Yeah, we can communicate by email, but first let me know if you

Some very sad news,Today I have learned about the death of one of
our members and friends, her name and nick was Mimi Pineda, from
Guatemala. I do not know all the particulars, some of you
probably knew her even more than I did, I understand she was a

send condolences to the family you may do so on facebook her
mom's name is Enoe Pineda.

Dearest Aamir sir.

Hi ,hope you are fine. actually i asked you 2 very important
question on my both posts 2 days a go.i think you didnt read
it.because if you read it you will answer for sure.as i believe
that you read all the comments every day.but maybe you were busy!
and didnt get time to answer.

i dont like to re-post my comments again.but just in the case
that you didnt read i will post it again :-) i asked you about
your visit to esfahan.as it's very important to me to know about
it. and as a persian want to know how do you like it or no?and if
its true or not, because i read it somewhere on news.

another question is about winnig TZP on tehran film fest. just
wanted to know did you know about it.as this festival only shows
persian movies .so just curios to know.

Thanks a tone in advance :-)

Lots of love

yours truly *Nasrin*

Hi Nasrin,, no I have not visited Esfahan. And also I had no idea that TZP won at the Tehran film festival. Nice to know. I will check with UTV as they are the international distributors of TZP. They would know.

Posted on May,10,2010 at 09:38 AM

Hi Aamir,
I want to share my thought with you. Not sure if you will read
this or not ( most likely not) BUT I'll give it a try.
Your films ( or any Hindi/Bollywood film) is not released every
where in the world so therefore a lot of your fans can not see
your film until release of DvD but that takes forever, for
example 3 Idiots is not released yet on DvD and it came in
theatres Dec 09', so what do people do? They buy copies burnt on
DvD's sold cheap or they turn to internet. I say if you release
film onto DvD shortly after theatre release not only are you
making money from ticket sales but from DvD sales as well and
help stop piracy. This is my thought, hope you read and give me
your thought :-)
Take care
Kit

Posted on May,11,2010 at 12:39 AM

Thanks for your thoughts Kitty. And I agree with you that we need to make our films legally available to fans of Indian Cinema no matter where they live in the world. That is precisely what I have been working on. Hopefully with Peepli Live I should be able to achieve that. Trying my best. Once I am ready with the plan I will share it on this space.

SHATRANJ KE KHILADI TO BE REMADE
The superstar Aamir at a crowded press conference today announced
his next project as an actor. It is the remake of Satyajit Re’s
Shatranj ke Khiladi. Aamir, an avid chess player himself, zeroed
on this project after careful consideration. He disclosed that
major changes in the story are on the anvil for the remake. For
starters the rival players will actually be twins separated at
birth. Aamir also shared that the actor to play his twin’s part
has been confirmed. He is a flourishing medical practitioner in a
US city. His uncanny resemblance to Aamir was what prompted this
decision. Aamir however isn’t happy with his chess playing skills
and plans a series of boot camps to sharpen the doc’s chess
skills. The newcomer has decided not to charge a penny for the
role. In fact to show his gratitude he has offered free medical
services to Aamir for a life time. “As soon as his chess skills
are up to the mark, we will start filming,” said Aamir.

FAN HAS TORTUROUS TIME WITH AAMIR

Paris (PTI)

A meeting with superstar Aamir Khan is a pleasurable dream for
many,but for this fan it was anything but that.

The fan who requested anonymity to avoid ridicule,recalled the
meeting with this reporter.

"We were asked to wait in this room where tea and cookies had
been laid out,and I helped myself to some while waiting for
Aamir"

The fan,who had consumed a large Diet Coke en route to the
meet,said that drinking the tea turned out to be a huge blunder.
"Just as I was getting up to go to the bathroom Aamir entered and
all else was forgotten. We chatted and drank some more tea
offered by Aamir"

The fan said those 2 hours with Aamir were spent in much pain and
agony due to the diuretic effects of caffeine. "I couldn't excuse
myself as I did not want to miss out on a single second of this
once in a lifetime chance,but made a beeline for the toilet as
soon as the meet ended much to my relief !"

you to be from a Persian desent ;-) Words can't describe how much
I appreiciate your work and sense of humor. I'm looking forward
to see more of your movies in the future. Wish you and your
beautiful family all the best. I sure hope that you become

Ooops, you're still up and reading,... that was quick! :-)

It was not me who contacted them, but the Cinema owner,
Kinobetriebe Marti Thun. And he sent an e-mail to the address
from the homepage biz(at)akprod.com , No reply. After calling, he
got told to send a mail to the same address again, ... again no
reply.

I don't really know what went wrong or where the problem was.
I've read the mail he sent. It's certainly not top notch English,
but still quite clear, ... I guess we were a bit naive to think
we could handle this without a proper contact in the industry in
India. This being a small town cinema they are used to deal only
with European distributors of Hollywood studios so far.

I hope no confusion arises from this. If you need further
information, ... you know now where to find my e-mail address!
;-) I would really like to learn how to go about this properly,
because I would love it if this festival could become a
tradition.

Cheers and Good Night for now,

The Internationl Distridutor for both TZP and Jaane Tu is UTV. So they would be the right company to contact. Any querie to AKP is forwarded to UTV. And I am sure they will help. Please tell your friend to write to UTV and I will drop in a word as well. I think their website is called utvmotionpictures.com

Hey there, Big Traveller! :-)

Now this is great news! I love to hear that you're doing
something about the distribution of your films here! You mean we
might actually be able to watch films like Peepli Live or Delhi
Belly in our regular cinemas? I don't dare dream about Dhobi Ghat
or even 3i, .... although there has been talk about a European
release of 3i.... but somehow we have given up on that, ...
Godot's bench, you know,...

Btw. we are holding an Indian Film Festival in June near Berne.
And we're also screening some films of yours, .... sadly we
couldn't get any answers from AKP for screening rights for JTYJN,
and TZP, .... but anyway, maybe a next time, ...

So, if you happen to be still in Europe, ... LOL! , ... and eager
to meet a big bunch of your German and Swiss fans,... Thoune is
the place to go! :-P

Sending lot's of love from somewhere in Europe too,
PkG! :-)

CHURCH ORGANIST FAIRLY CERTAIN IT WAS AAMIR KHAN

Cologne (PTI)

The organist of Cologne cathedral Winfried Boenig today expressed
excitement at spotting Indian actor Aamir Khan sitting on a bench
across from the Cathedral.

" I thought it was Aamir when I looked out of my window. But to
be certain I ran up 5 flights of stairs to the rectory to
retrieve the church copy of the Ghajini DVD, and sure enough it
was him" said Boenig.

Boenig however was unable to meet with the star as by the time he
got down again, Aamir was nowhere to be seen.

"He has put on a little weight, but apart from that he looked
awesome. Wait till I tell Cardinal Meisner about this, he'll
totally flip" said an excited Boenig.

To mark this event Boenig plans to add a Bum bum bole ditty to
the Missa in Augustiis by Hadyn he has planned for the Sunday
ma.ss.

Hey, dear Blog Host! :-)

Glad to see that you're having a great time on the Good Old
Continent!

And, yes, the Dom in Cologne is really one of the Masterpieces of
World Architechture! I'm glad you get to do some private
holidaying too. In between the work. (And, does this work by any
chance include something that your European fans might profit
from? Like the screening of your films in our cinemas? ... dream
on, PkG! LOL!)

But, dear Aamir, I have one humble request to you: Could you
please post about your eventual visit to Berne only well after
you were here! (unless you want a fairly competent guide, of
course!) You know, I would respect your right to privacy under
all circumstances, ... but knowing you sit five minutes from my
workplace in some cafe would be pretty hard strain on my
resolutions, ... ;-)

So, go on having a great time and thanks for being so
communicative! :-)

Cheers,
PkG! :-)

I'm travelling on Urselis, all across Europe. Meeting with sales agents and/or distributers, trying to create a better distribution network for my films.

LIESIE,

Let me clarify. I first use my mental powers and melt a fork into
a spoon. THEN I bend it.
So yeah, African spoons shouldn't be a problem :-)

and Dear Aamir,

Since Cleveland has the number one ranked hospital in the world.
I'll keep you alive long enough until you have met me and played
a best of 5 chess match ( which I will win 3-2 ).

So when your bones begin to creak
and your heart begins to croak
head on to Cleveland
and I'll fix whatever is broke!

3. I have not watched your film 3-Ideots out of respect for u. I
really wanted to show my respect the only way audience can do
it- by watching a legal version of the film. I was not able to
catch the film when it was showing in Belgium.. and afterwords i
could not find any LEGAL source on the web wich i can use in
Holland. Do u have any tips on how to watch it legaly on the web?

I so hope that your future films will be showing in Pathe
cinema's in Holland.. so i can see the art the way it was
supposed to be seen... But i must say..Being your fan from age 11
from QQT till now it is becoming easier to get access to the
films... Am still hopefulliy waiting for the day it will be
normal in Holland to go out without traveling miles and just c a
nice Hindi movie in the cinema nex door with my multinational
group of friends (wich i have been introducing to hindi cinema
for past 10 years) :)

1. My meant condolences (as i am a non-Indian living in Holland i
dont get the news)
2. I was just watching the song from Fanaa "Mere Haath main" on
my youtube fav.list (i usually avoid skip that song cause i can
not see it without being effected by it) And again i was sooo
stuned by your acting that i had to look for my logon data to
leave u this comment. Every shot made on the bed is just
..soo..pure. U'r acting ..especially u'r eyes..(up to every
finger movement ) in this shots.. are i a way subtle and yet
soooo powerfull. That is the right word Powerfull, u reach
directly the hart..! I even tried watching the song without
volume to c if it is the music and tekst that is making ur acting
come across soo strong(er).. But even withought music it is
almost suffocating to watch u..(am glad that actress is kajol and
matches ur skills). And now i just wish it was a happy
song..cause i am afraid i won't shake of the feeling of the song
very soon :( .Thanx for this peace of art!

Oh Fun! Your post reminds me of an excerpt from Bill Bryson's
book:

"Is there anything, apart from a really good chcolate cream pie
and receiving a large unexpected cheque in the post, to beat
finding yourself in a large foreign city on a fair spring
evening, loafing along unfamiliar streets in the long shadows of
a lazy sunset, pausing to gaze in shop windows or at some church
or lovely square or tranquil stretch of quayside, hesitating at
street corners to decide whether that cheerful and homy
restaurant you will remember fondly for years is likely to lie
down this street or that one? I just love it. I could spend my
life arriving each evening in a new city."

Bryson is such a good author. Which book is this from?

Good afternoon Aamir,I'm glad that you enjoyed and I'm sure all
those you had the privilege to meet you were trilled.
You were really solicited from so many people about the meeting
and I think it's faboulous that you're prepared to do
that...Binky had certainly big job to do to choose 5 people from
all those adresses. As not a native or from indian origines
person, I'm little bit desapointed, that you didn't chose for
ex. the girl Melanie who is studiing cinema in Paris. I have
impression, that you, or Binky, choose only indian origines
persons...maybe except Simon?I'm not criticising, please believe
me, but for me it"s a little bit shame because YOU (and the
indian cinema) are having lots of fans from non-indian origines
and it could be great to share that with them. I know it's hard
for you and impossible to please everybody, but...I hope you
understand what I mean...
Enjoy the rest of your time in Europe and take care.
Lea

Actually Simon lookied Indian to me. Berushka, my fans have no barriers of country for me. Whether we are Indian or not it doesn't matte, we are all human beings. And like people from different parts of the world like my work, similarly I value all my audience equally. The selection was not made on the basis of nationality, but was random.
