Which Aamir Khan Movie Is Your All-Time Favorite?
The actor gave an extremely deep insight on love and relationships and how one evolves with time. He said, “Main bohot romantic aadmi ho, maa kasam. Bohot funny lagta hai sunne mein but meri dono biwiyon se puch lo. (I’m very romantic, it may sound funny to you, but please ask both my wives). So, all my favourite films are romantic. I get lost in romantic movies. I’m a believer of true love. As we grow in life, our understanding of love evolves. Aap samajhte hai, zindagi ko, logon ko, apne aap ko. (You evolve as your grow and you understand yourself and others more).”
He also revealed that with time, he has grown and realises the mistakes which he has made in love. “As I’ve grown, I’ve realised ke meri kya kya kamiyan, galtiyan rahi hai aur maine unko sudharne ki koshish ki hai. (I’ve realised now where I was wrong and I’ve tried to improve on my mistakes). For me, today, the meaning of love is to find someone who is your soulmate, jiske saath aap comfortable hai and you feel main apni manzil tak pahunch chuka hoon, when I find a person who I am organically connected. (For me, love is about finding a soulmate which gives you a feeling that you’ve reached your destination in life).”
Aamir also gave a love tip to youngsters to not ignore red flags in a relationship, “When you think you will be with a person and they will change, woh change nahi hota, because we ourselves don’t change. Jab aapko red flags dikhte hai woh green badi mushkil se hote hai. Pehle hi soch lena chahiye. (You may thinkt that a person will change, but that’s not going to happen. So, when you see red flags, don’t ignore them. It’s a rare possibility that they will turn into green flags.).”
Shedding light on what he thinks is true love, Aamir said, “Ek senstivity aapke partner mein honi chahiye, despite differences of opinion. These things are very important – caring, love. True love is really when you learn to love yourself. When you are able to value yourself and think that you are at that stage when you are ready to hold that person. Aap uss mukaam pe pahunch jayenge, aap apna dil bhi utna lightly nahi lenge.”
