Bollywood’s A-lister Aamir Khan seems to have been a perfectionist from the beginning of his career. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, male actors lined up to collaborate with megastar Sridevi, but Aamir jumped at the chance to share screen time right after her critically acclaimed debut film Qayamat Se. I decided to wait until the end even though we were supposed to meet.
You’ll be shocked to learn why a Bollywood powerhouse declined to work with Sridevi, who made his debut when he was just in his early 20s. The actor, who is now 58 years old, saw a quick rise to stardom following the success of his successful film début in 1988. While the filmmakers opted to utilize the opportunity to cast Sridevi and Aamir together, Aamir too made the same decision. Shield your eyes.
According to reports, the “3 Idiots” actor and Sridevi sat together for a picture shoot, which might portend the beginning of a new pairing in B-Town. But, rumors suggest that Aamir altered his mind because he believed that because she is older than he is, the public might not approve of their relationship. It is said that the actor felt it was inappropriate for them to work together because the actress had just wrapped up filming for “Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak,” in which she played a college student. He also favored playing parts that were more suited to his age.
Aamir only wanted to work with up-and-coming women of the time, such as Juhi Chawla, Madhuri Dixit, and Raveena Tandon, according to gossip peacocks. It’s interesting to note that, according to a source in The Times of India, Aamir once spoke with Sridevi about photo shoots and said how he couldn’t look her in the eyes out of fear that she could discover he was smitten with her.
Aamir Khan worked with Sridevi on two films, “Army” in 1996 and “Zero” in 2018, while Shah Rukh Khan and Sridevi never made a film together. Moreover, Salman Khan worked with the late actress on two films, 1993’s Chandra Mukhi and 1994’s Chand Ka Tukda.
