In the late 1990s, Bollywood icon Aamir Khan faced a remarkable dilemma when he received an invitation from the underworld to attend a party in Dubai. Despite persistent pressure, offers of money, and threats, Khan staunchly refused to attend.
During a recent interview with The Lallantop, Khan disclosed that he was invited by certain underworld figures who wanted him to grace their party in the Middle East.
Recalling the incident, Khan revealed how he was relentlessly pressured to attend the party. Despite the underworld’s attempts to sway him with monetary offers and promises, Khan remained resolute. “They tried a lot. They offered me money and promised to fulfill any of my wishes,” he recounted. The situation escalated when they insisted that his presence had already been announced, turning it into a matter of prestige.
Refusing to bow down to the threats, Khan stood firm in his decision. “That was our final meeting. I told them from the beginning that I wouldn’t attend,” he recounted. Despite acknowledging their power, Khan boldly declared that even if they resorted to physical coercion, he would not comply.
While maintaining his unwavering stance, Khan admitted to feeling fear for the safety of his family. With two young children and concerned parents, he faced a difficult decision. “I had two small kids then. My parents were concerned. They said, ‘What are you doing? They’re very dangerous,’” he recalled. However, Khan emphasized his desire to live life on his terms.
At that time, Khan was married to Reena Dutta. On the professional front, he is currently captivating audiences in “Sitaare Zameen Par” and is set to star in “Coolie.”
Despite the allure of the underworld’s lavish party invitation, Aamir Khan’s unwavering stance against coercion and intimidation stands as a testament to his principles and integrity, showcasing his commitment to living life on his own terms.
