Aamir Khan Says No to Politics, Yes To Gay Roles
He was flanked by his onscreen daughters from Dangal, Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanya Malhotra, on Koffee With Karan and Aamir Khan for once did not play it safe
From talking about his seduction technique to his famous dislike for Bollywood parties, Aamir Khan opened up like never before on tonight’s episode of Koffee With Karan.
Karan started by saying, "You are a mess these days - nervous, stressed, not sleeping". Aamir candidly replied: "Last three weeks before a film, I can't sleep at all. I need people around me. I call Jaggu, he stays in my building. I have tested the film by showing it to 500 people till now. I am nervous. But until people see it, I won't relax."

With the two debutantes of his upcoming film Dangal, Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanya Malhotra, too joining him on the couch, the topic turned to the other wrestling film which released this year, Salman Khan’s Sultan.
"The background is similar but I called up Aditya Chopra and asked him if there were any similarities. He said Sultan is a love story. I was relaxed then itself. I loved Sultan. I wanted Sultan to be a great success so that people would go and watch Dangal to compare,” said Aamir.
Speaking of Fatima and Sanya, Aamir said that they were in sync because the girls too are obsessed about the details like him and thus they make a happy family.
"I am very emotional. Sulk pot. I get upset at small, small things. I was crying after watching the trailer on YouTube. I get attached to people," said Aamir to which Fatima retorted, "Aamir Khan has no friends.”
But Aamir does have friends and Karan spoke to the few people who are actually close to the actor and they made interesting revelations.
His Fanaa director Kunal Kohli said, "His self control is unbelievable," while Rang De Basanti co-star Kunal Kapoor added, "Aamir Khan has the capacity of a whale and can drink a lot.” Vaibhavi Merchant surprised everyone by revealing that Aamir Khan is a prankster.
Coming to the rapid fire round, Aamir decided to compete with himself and announced, "I don't make any mistakes. I am a perfectionist."
He said that Shah Rukh Khan does not need his advice, Salman could give him advice while Akshay Kumar would be best for financial advice.

When asked, “One thing you dislike about the industry but have to pretend to like?”, Aamir cheekily replied, “Koffee with Karan. Just kidding, on a serious note, parties.”
The word association game threw up some interesting answers.
Stripper, reminded Aamir of Ranveer Singh, he labelled himself a Sex Therapist and when asked what would he do if he woke up as Ranveer Singh, he replied. “ I will calm down.” If he woke up as Katrina Kaif, Aamir revealed that he would simply get busy looking at himself in the mirror.
Rani Mukerji was named as the co-star with whom he has the best rapport while Aamir revealed that he gets nervous around Amitabh Bachhan and impatient with Vidhu Vinod Chopra.
Then came the turn to answer the questions with simply a Yes or a No. While both Hollywood and politics got a resounding No, a two-hero film with Shah Rukh, gay roles and father roles got a Yes.
And then came the naughtiest answer. When Karan asked Aamir what a girl needs to do to get close to his heart, Aamir playfully replied, “Just get close to me… I will do the rest.”
