Twenty years ago he made a splash as the country’s new heartthrob with his debut in Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. Today superstar Aamir Khan is introducing a new face in the industry – his nephew Imran Khan who makes his debut this Friday with Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Naa. This is a launch that will be watched and judged closely like just like Aamir judged two decades ago. CNN-IBN Entertainment Editor Rajeev Masand in conversation with the two Khans.
Rajeev Masand: As someone who has seen Imran grow up in front of your eyes, what sort of a child was he – mischievous, quiet or all into one?
Aamir Khan: He was a very gentle kid. Very nice and easy to bully. Most of the time I would be like ‘Imran paani lao’ or ‘there is a book lying there, get it for me’.
Rajeev Masand: You also apparently used him to get introduced to a couple of girls.
Aamir Khan: Yes, all the time. In fact I was about 20 or 21 when he was three or four. So I would take him around for walks in Pali Hill and the all the girls would come to see him and talk to me. In fact I still do that.
Rajeev Masand: Did you expect him to come and say that he wants to be an actor? Or did you expect to see him as an actor someday?
Aamir Khan: No I didn’t, actually. I never thought he would act in Indian films because he didn’t know Hindi. He hardly ever spoke the language and even when he did, he had a very strong accent. So when he did come and say that he wanted to act, my reaction was ‘in Hindi?’ But then he of course worked on his language and got around it.
Rajeev Masand: Not many people know that this is not the first time that Imran is facing the camera. He played little Aamir in both Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak and Jo Jeeta Wahi Sikandar. Imran you have any memories from those shoots?
Imran Khan: Yes, I do from Jo Jeeta Wahi Sikandar. I remember having a lot of fun. I do remember that Aamir used to do my makeup.
Aamir Khan: He was a good kid on the sets. He would even take his pants down when instructed (laughs out loud).
Imran Khan: You know they didn’t tell me about that before the shoot. It was a complete surprise for me. Mansoor said you know how to ride a cycle and I said yes. Then he asked you know how to do it standing and I said, of course. So I stand and start cycling and suddenly I feel cold air on my rear.
