Aamir Khan reveals Shabana Azmi is responsible for Mr Perfectionist tag: ‘I asked the size of cup and spoon when she asked me how much sugar’

The actor continued, “When I was new to cinema, I was shooting the film Dil, Indra Kumar was the director and Baba Azmi was the cameraman. Baba Azmi was the top cameraman, we often used to go to his house. One day we were engrossed in a deep discussion, maybe about films and Shabana ji brought tea for us and she asked, ‘Aamir, how much sugar will you take?’”

Aamir added, “I was so engrossed in the discussion, I didn’t realize what she was asking. I turned around and looked at her, it took me five seconds to process the question. I asked, ‘How big is the glass?’ She showed me the cup. I was still engrossed in that discussion. Then I asked how big is the spoon, she showed me the spoon and then I said, ‘One spoon.’ She narrated that story everywhere. She said, ‘If you ask him, ‘How much sugar?’, he will ask you the size of cup and spoon.’”
