Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan has offered a rare and candid glimpse into his personal life and friendships, revealing the deep bond he shares with fellow icons Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. Speaking in an interview with Lallantop, Aamir reflected on their evolving camaraderie, all-night conversations, and how these friendships have supported him during emotional lows.
“We Don’t Stop at One Drink”
Aamir admitted that their get-togethers often go on until sunrise:
“We often make plans to catch up, and we never stop at one drink. It’s usually till morning—7 am—not just with Salman, but with Shah Rukh too. This has happened eight to 10 times till now.”
These late-night sessions are not just about partying but are rooted in deep conversations and mutual respect, showcasing the trio’s personal bond away from the public eye.
Bonding with Shah Rukh: “It Took Time”
Talking about his friendship with Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir said it took time to truly connect:
“I hadn’t known Shah Rukh so much at that time. We would keep meeting often. We even hung out together back then at either of our places.”
He also recounted a humorous moment involving a misunderstanding from years ago:
“I had written a vlog from a farmhouse in Panchgani, stating that Shah Rukh was licking his feet,” Aamir laughed, clarifying, “It was actually the dog at the farmhouse who was named Shah Rukh. Not the actor!”
The anecdote sparked a lot of buzz at the time but now stands as a testament to their friendly equation and ability to laugh things off.
Salman Khan: A Friend in Dark Times
Aamir became emotional when discussing Salman Khan and how he stood by him during one of the most difficult periods in his life—after his divorce from Reena Dutta.
“I was in a very dark space emotionally. I used to drink heavily and isolate myself,” he admitted. “Salman dropped by one day for dinner… and we ended up having a deep conversation that went on for hours. That’s when our friendship really began.”
Their friendship, which began during the filming of Andaz Apna Apna in 1994, wasn’t instant. Aamir confessed he didn’t initially think he could ever be friends with Salman.
“Guess life always has other plans. And more often than not, those plans make the most sense in the long run.”
A Rare Glimpse of Bollywood Brotherhood
At 60, Aamir Khan continues to show that behind the superstar persona lies a deeply thoughtful and loyal friend. His reflections on his bonds with SRK and Salman show the rare emotional transparency and personal warmth shared among three of India’s biggest cinematic legends.
In a world of reel rivalries and tabloid tales, Aamir’s words serve as a reminder that real friendships—especially in showbiz—do exist, evolve, and endure.
