Aamir recently met influencer Prakhar Gupta for a conversation while promoting his upcoming film, Sitaare Zameen Par. And they took a moment to recreate the reel while poking fun at the "perfectionist" tag.
The reel came with the title, 'When you ask Aamir to trade perfection for a list of back-to-back movies'. In the reel, Prakhar is seen handing Aamir several pages of script, and Aamir's reaction transforms into mock frustration, humourously exaggerating his focus on being a perfectionist. Aamir is seen banging his fist on the table and then dramatically stomping around Prakhar.
It is a recreation of Magnus Carlsen table slam moment, which had left the internet chuckling earlier this month. D Gukesh scripted history at the recently concluded Norway Chess 2025, where he claimed his maiden classical win vs Magnus Carlsen. And a moment from a match between Magnus Carlsen and D Gukesh went viral, where the Norwegian was seen slamming a table after losing to the Indian chess prodigy.

Amitabh Bachchan was handed a CD of a Hollywood movie, instead of script of 'Ek Ajnabee', recalls producer Bunty Walia
After going through a difficult time in the 1990s, Amitabh Bachchan was successfully making a comeback in Bollywood in the early 2000s. During this time, filmmakers in India had no concerns about remaking Hollywood films, even without buying any rights, as the laws regarding these matters weren't strictly in place at the time. Following the trend, Big B was also given a CD of Hollywood movie—but, surprisingly, without a script. The actor who is considered the best actor in the Indian film industry , was obviously shocked when he was handed the CD and asked if he would want to do the Indian version of the film. Inspired by ' Man on Fire ' Producer Bunty Walia discussed the filming of Ek Ajnabee, which was directed by Apoorva Lakhia and starred Arjun Rampal , on Friday Talkies' YouTube channel. Lakhia stated that he was inspired to make the film after seeing the Denzel Washington film Man on Fire. The two believed that Amitabh would be the most suitable candidate for the role if they decided to remake it. Lakhia had previously made his Bollywood debut in Mumbai Se Aaya Mera Dost, starring Abhishek Bachchan. Pitch without a script According to Bunty, 'I talked to Amitabh sir's secretary, Sheetal ji, and we fixed up a meeting with him. When I met with him, he asked me for the script, and I told him that we didn't have any script, and I handed him the CD of Man on Fire. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo I told him we were going to 'Indianise' it and then make a film.' Bachchan asked, "What do I do with it?" because he didn't understand what they were attempting to do. Walia continued. Their degree of readiness certainly did not impress his secretary. 'I remember Sheetal ji looking at me like I was a fool. We didn't have a script or schedule for the film, and we were trying to sign him for the film. He gave us dates for many months later and told us straight that now it was our job to convince Amitabh sir to do the film.' Despite this, Amitabh Bachchan finally agreed to play the lead in Ek Ajnabee, which came out in 2005 and won praise for his powerful performance.

Salman Khan reveals who was the real inspiration behind his iconic ‘Tere Naam' look
Netflix's The Great Indian Kapil Show is all set to return with a bang, and leading the laughter ride in Season 3's premiere episode is none other than Bollywood superstar Salman Khan. The first episode, scheduled to air on June 21, is already making headlines thanks to a few sneak peeks that have gone viral. In a candid and humorous chat with host Kapil Sharma, Salman opened up about the origin of his iconic hairstyle from the 2003 cult film Tere Naam. Surprisingly, the actor revealed that the inspiration behind the much-talked-about look came from none other than former President Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam. 'The hairstyle in Tere Naam was actually inspired by Abdul Kalam sir. Around that time, Rahul Roy also had a similar hairstyle. I thought, small-town heroes usually have long hair—so I went with that. Even heroes from earlier times had longer hair, so the look fit perfectly,' Salman shared, sparking laughter and applause from the audience. Adding to the fun, Salman also took a playful jab at fellow actor Aamir Khan's love life. Referring to Aamir's recent public appearance with girlfriend Gauri Spratt, Kapil joked, 'Aamir bhai introduced his fans to his girlfriend. He's not stopping, but you haven't even started!' Salman responded with his trademark wit, 'Aamir is something else. He's a perfectionist—he won't settle down until he perfects marriage itself!' The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 3 premieres on Netflix this Saturday, June 21, with new episodes dropping every Saturday at 8 PM.
