In a viral video of the event, Aamir Khan can be seen moving forward to return a shot when he suddenly loses his balance and rolls on the court. Moments later, he stood back up, smiled, and continued playing as if nothing had happened.
Fans were quick to admire his agility and composure, with one commenting: “At his age, a lot of people don’t even step on the ground,” while another added: “He’s very stable.”
Some pointed out the small mishap, noting, “It was a good return from the opposite side. He fell due to bad footwork.”
Aamir Khan’s visit to Arijit Singh’s hometown
Earlier this month, Aamir Khan made headlines when he visited singer Arijit Singh’s hometown of Jiaganj in Murshidabad, West Bengal. Videos of Aamir getting out of his car, waving at photographers and flying a kite at Arijit’s residence quickly went viral on social media.
Speculation is rife that the Laal Singh Chaddha star may have met Arijit to discuss the singer’s recent decision to step away from playback singing. There were also reports that Aamir’s trip to Jiaganj was to collaborate with the singer, although neither party has confirmed the purpose of the visit.
Aamir Khan’s next ventures
On the work front, Aamir Khan will reportedly play legendary filmmaker Dadasaheb Phalke in an upcoming biopic directed by Rajkumar Hirani. In a recent interview with Variety India, Aamir shared his renewed focus on acting: “At the moment when I am producing and acting, obviously my acting time is reduced. For the last few years, I had to concentrate on two things. Now I am concentrating only on myself as an actor.”
