At a recent special event held to celebrate the 4th season of Ajivasan ACT, actor Aamir Khan made a surprise appearance — not just as a guest, but as a performer. The Bollywood icon showcased his singing skills, delighting the audience with his deep connection to music.
Speaking at the event, Aamir opened up about how music has played a crucial role in his filmmaking journey, not just as an actor, but as a producer and creative collaborator. “Whenever I produce a film, or when a director or producer involves me in the music process, I feel genuinely happy. Being part of music sessions gives me immense joy — it’s a different world altogether. You get to learn so much, and it fills you with nothing but pure happiness.”
Aamir emphasized the importance of being involved in the creative process of music, saying that over the years, he has gained invaluable insights by working with some of the finest names in the industry. “I’ve had the opportunity to sit with amazing music directors, lyricists, and directors who have a deep understanding of music. I’ve learned a lot from them. It’s a privilege to be in that space where creativity flows.”
Highlighting how great songs — whether romantic, philosophical, or situational — are born, Aamir spoke about the significance of clarity in storytelling: “When you have something meaningful to say through your story, and the director and writer are clear about that thought, it gets communicated effectively to the composer and lyricist. That’s when something truly special is created. No matter the genre — romantic or philosophical — the seed lies in the clarity of the idea. If that is strong, the music becomes magical.”
Aamir’s candid and passionate reflection on music only reaffirms his identity as a storyteller who values every element of cinema, especially the soul-stirring power of songs that stay with audiences long after the credits roll.
