Aamir Khan on his student days and being an idiot in his next film

Aamir Khan keeps going back to school. He played the truant college boy in Rang De Basanti and the school teacher in Tare Zameen Par,now the 44-year-old Khan morphs into a goofy engineering student in Rajkumar Hiranis Three Idiots,which hits the screen on December 25.

He teams up with RDB co-stars Madhavan and Sharman Joshi in the new venture.

Khan plays a boy in his twenties,an irony that wasnt lost on the actor. I am playing someone less than half my age. Unfortunately,I missed out on college life as I was thrust into work soon after Class XII. But when I went to IIM Bangalore to shoot this film,I interacted with the students and gota taste of college life, says Khan.

Khan himself was never the studious sorts,choosing instead to spend his time in sports and dramatics. I would sneak out of class to rehearse for plays or athletics. When the time came to get my parents signature on the exam paper,I would slyly ask mom for her signature early in the morning when she was half-asleep, he laughs.
