Talking about nepotism in general he said, “Nepotism Ka matlab kya hota hai? It's a very natural human tendency... you are asking me in general na? Not specially to that issue na? In general, it's a human nature to love and help for the people you care for... it’s a very natural thing. It can be someone from part of your family or someone you care for. I try and make sure in my work I don't. Meri jo zimmedari hai as a creative person woh apne audience ki taraf hai, aur usko main sabse zyada importance deta hoon toh I try not to bring emotions in my work.”

He further said, “I have always been careful about giving my opinions. I don't think I have ever been careless but, at the same time, I also say what I feel.”

Aamir also spoke about the upcoming season of Satyamev Jayate and asserted that at the moment his team is focusing on the water problem in Maharashtra.

Furthermore, he brushed off rumours of a movie with Shah Rukh Khan after a picture of him hanging out with SRK went viral on Sunday. He said that the two met just as friends and there is no film in the offing.  

Aamir concluded the conference by saying that he is occupied with Thugs Of Hindostan and maintaining his fitness levels.
