1/54Here's why Aamir Khan never looked into the eyes of Sridevi
We all are aware that Aamir Khan has always been a fan of late actress Sridevi. When the actor got to know about Sridevi's demise, the actor was shocked to hear the news, just like the entire world. He even took to his Twitter to express his feelings for the same.
During a recent media interaction, the actor talked about his memories with the legendary star. He said that they were shooting for the cover of a magazine and he was so excited about it. They had shot in centaur and Aamir was supposed to pose with her, however, the actor didn't look into Sridevi's eyes at all. He said that he used to get stuck whenever he looked at them and feared that she will come to know that he has a crush on her.
Aamir added that she was a fantastic actor.
The actor even suggested Mahesh Bhatt make a Hindi remake of 'Roman Holiday' in which he and Sridevi will play the lead. The filmmaker got up and showed Aamir a book 'It Happened One Night' which inspired 'Roman Holiday' and that's how they made 'Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin'.

Rajkumar Hirani’s upcoming film ‘Sanju’ featuring Ranbir Kapoor in the lead is one of the much-awaited films of 2018. Filmmaker Rajkumar’s association with Aamir Khan has been evident over the years – in real and reel life both.
Recently in a media interaction, the ‘Dangal’ actor was questioned about the rumours of him being approached to play Sunil Dutt’s role in the film. To which the actor responded by saying, “He [Rajkumar Hirani] approached me with the script and I loved it. I think he has written it beautifully, and he said 'I want you to play Dutt saab' role'. Dutt saab's role is fantastic, BTW, when you watch the film you will see it is largely the film explores the relationship between a father and a son."
He further added, "BUT Sanju's role is unbelievable. As an actor, I told Raju that Sanjay's role is so good that it has won my heart and in this film, I can't do any other role but Sanjay Dutt which I can't do because Ranbir is doing. So, don't offer me any other role because I won't be able to do it. I can't come to the set thinking that 'yeh lines meri honi chahiye.'"
However, he did praise Ranbir’s contribution in the film. Aamir said, “I am sure Ranbir has done a fab job. He is a fantastic actor. I can't wait to watch the film."
‘Sanju’ is slated to release on June 29, 2018.
