Fans were surprised to see Aamir Khan in the picture and wondered what the Bollywood superstar was doing in Chennai at a time like this.

Why is Aamir Khan in Chennai?

Aamir Khan, who had temporarily relocated to Chennai from Mumbai for the medical treatment of his ailing mother Zeenat Hussain, was also caught in the flood. Zeenat suffered a heart attack a few months ago and is undergoing treatment for the same in Chennai. The 3 Idiots star had shifted to the Tamil Nadu capital a couple of months ago. It was said that the actor was living in a five-star hotel. However, it looks like he has settled down in Karapakkam, an affluent area in the city.
