Aamir Khan delighted his fans by sharing a humorous take on chess grandmaster Magnus Carlsen's now-iconic table slam moment. The actor, known for his thoughtful performances, surprised everyone by posting a playful and unexpected comedy reel on social media.

The amusing reel, titled 'When you ask Aamir to trade perfection for a list of back-to-back movies," features Prakhar handing Aamir a tall stack of film scripts. Aamir responds with an exaggerated and theatrical display of frustration — dramatically slamming the table and pacing around the room, mirroring chess champion Magnus Carlsen's emotional reaction after losing to D Gukesh. The video cleverly reimagines a moment that captured global attention earlier this month, when 19-year-old Indian chess prodigy D Gukesh defeated world champion Carlsen during the Norway Chess 2025 tournament. Carlsen's table slam became an instant internet sensation, sparking countless memes and online chatter.
The reel showcasing Aamir's surprising comic side quickly went viral, drawing enthusiastic reactions across social media platforms. Fans and celebrities alike flooded the comments section with praise and laughter. Noted comedian Aaditya Kulshreshth commented, 'hahahaha", while one user playfully asked, 'How the hell did u convince him?" Another excited fan called it the 'Trend winner."
Social media was abuzz with entertaining responses, with many delighted by Aamir's unexpected participation. One fan simply posted, 'Lmao", while another affectionately referred to the actor as 'Mr. Perfection." Others crowned it the 'Best meme ever" and called the reel 'A re-creation no one saw coming." Summing up the mood perfectly, one user commented, 'Yes finally the Gukesh meme with Aamir Khan."
On the professional front, Aamir Khan is all set to make his long-awaited return to cinemas with Sitaare Zameen Par, a sports comedy-drama slated for release on June 20. Adapted from the acclaimed Spanish film Campeones, Sitaare Zameen Par promises to blend heart, humour and sportsmanship. Directed by RS Prasanna, best known for Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, the film is seen as a spiritual successor to Aamir's beloved 2007 film Taare Zameen Par. This time, Aamir steps into the role of a fiery basketball coach tasked with preparing a team of differently-abled children for a major championship. The film also stars Genelia D'Souza and introduces ten fresh faces: Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra and Simran Mangeshkar.
