The Jaane Jaan actor said that after a week of release, he was on a video call with his actor friends when he suddenly got a notification which read, “Hi, this is Aamir Khan, please let me know whenever you are free, I will call.” 

Jaideep said that he was initially sceptical about the message and told his wife about it, “Ye sahi nahi ho sakta (this can’t be true)” and thought it was a prank. However, he replied back and Aamir called him. He said, “When I heard his voice I was sure it was Aamir and he said ‘Can we talk on a video call?’” The actor said that they had a conversation for more than 30 minutes and Aamir asked him about his acting process and stuff. Impressed with Aamir’s trajectory in Hindi cinema, Jaideep was surprised that an actor of his stature was asking about his acting process. He wondered, “You are asking me about my process? You are the master of this, of preparing for a character, starting from the look of the character.” The actor added, “He was so genuine and sweet.”

Jaideep Ahlawat will next be seen in Jaane Jaan, opposite Kareena Kapoor Khan and Vijay Varma. Helmed by Sujoy Ghosh, the film will release on Netflix on September 21.
