Actor Aamir Khan made a surprise appearance at the trailer launch event for the Punjabi film Carry On Jatta 3, where he shook a leg to the beats of a ‘dhol’ and spoke about the importance of supporting regional cinema. After the event, Aamir invited the film’s cast and crew to his house. The get-together was also attended by comedian Kapil Sharma and his wife Ginni.
In an interview with The Lallantop, actor-singer Gippy Grewal said that Aamir is an old friend, who willingly agreed to support Carry On Jatta 3, and even asked Gippy if he wanted him to say something in particular at the launch event. But Gippy wanted Aamir’s honest feedback and nothing else. His co-star Sonam Bajwa, said that she was surprised by how down-to-earth Aamir is in real life, and revealed that he saw every guest off individually after the get-together at his house.
Gippy said in Hindi, “That’s his style. I’ve never said this, but every time I’ve paid him a visit, he has come down to see me off. And 99% of the time, he does this barefoot. I keep telling him to wear some shoes, but he doesn’t seem to mind. This is at his house, but once I went to visit him at the Marriott in Chandigarh, and he insisted on coming down to see me off again.”
Gippy continued, “There was some wedding function happening at the hotel, and there was a huge crowd because of it. I told him that there were too many people and that he shouldn’t come down, but he pointed out that they’d recognise me, so how does it matter if they recognise him as well. This time at his house, there were so many people, and he saw each one of them off individually. And we won’t go back upstairs until you’ve left. Everyone wanted to chat with him also, and there was such a line of cars, we thought we’d be stuck there for a long time.”
Many people have pointed out that Shah Rukh Khan does the same thing when he has people over at his house. Gippy expressed his gratitude to Aamir for his gesture, and said that an endorsement from him would help their film reach a wider audience.
