If someone comes home, I generally drop them at the door, whoever that is. A friend of mine was there and I escorted her to her car. I was just being a friend and it became something else. Guys, we are single. I am single, she is single. We are just very very close friends and that’s about it. That’s about it.” While drawing a comparison with Shah Rukh Khan, he added, “Ek cheeze khaali. Shah Rukh Khan sir bhi, main suna hun, jab mehmaan aate hai toh darwaaze tak chorne jaate hai.

Earlier, Shamita had taken to her social media handles to quash their dating reports and called out society for its prudish mindset. She had written, “I'm baffled by society and it's convenient prudish mindset all across. Why is every action and every person subjected to scrutiny or snap judgement with no reality check? There are possibilities beyond the narrow-minded assumptions of the NETIZENS. “It's high time we open our minds to it! Single n happy .. let’s focus on more important issues in this country!.”
In the viral video, Aamir held Shamita by the waist while escorting her to the car. He also gave her a sweet peck on the cheek as they bid goodbye.
