Actor Aamir Khan recently shared a chilling incident from the 90s when he was invited to a party hosted by underworld figures in the Middle East. Despite facing pressure, monetary offers, and threats to his safety, Khan stood his ground and declined the invitation, fearing for the safety of his family.
During a candid interview, Khan revealed that individuals from the underworld had approached him with the invitation for the party, believed to be in Dubai. Despite persistent attempts to convince him, including offers of money and promises to fulfill any of his requests, Khan remained resolute in his decision not to attend.
While the actor did not disclose the identities of those extending the invite, he emphasized his reluctance to name individuals, even within his industry. Recounting the encounter, Khan mentioned how the underworld representatives insisted on his presence, citing it as a matter of prestige once his attendance had been announced.
Expressing his unwavering stance, Khan narrated a final confrontation where he made it clear that he would not attend the party under any circumstances. He recounted how the situation left him feeling anxious, not only for his own safety but also for the well-being of his family, particularly his young children at the time.
At that point in his life, Khan was married to Reena Dutta, with whom he shared two children. Despite the challenges he faced, Khan remained resolute in his decision to prioritize his family’s safety and well-being above all else.
Interestingly, in a twist of fate, Khan was once considered for a role in a biopic about T-Series founder Gulshan Kumar, who was tragically killed by the underworld in 1997. However, Khan eventually exited the project, leading to actor Akshay Kumar being approached for the role.
The incident sheds light on the complexities and challenges faced by public figures, such as actors, when navigating potentially dangerous situations that may compromise their personal safety and integrity. Khan’s refusal to succumb to external pressures serves as a testament to his commitment to his principles and values.
As the actor reflected on this harrowing experience, he emphasized the importance of staying true to oneself and making decisions that align with one’s beliefs, even in the face of adversity. The incident serves as a reminder of the constant vigilance required to protect one’s well-being and that of their loved ones in the unpredictable world of show business.
