Aamir Khan in Varanasi

Posted on 13. Dec, 2009 by Sarthak in Entertainment

Aamir Khan has visited Varanasi – the first place in his ‘catch me if you can’ challanege – as part of a brilliant marketing strategy for his forthcoming film ’3 idiots’. During his Bharat darshion he gives clues to his next destination in advance and challenges people to catch him if they can.

Aamir has uploaded three videos on youtube showing his stay and interaction with the locals in Varanasi in a disguised avatar…Aamir appears as a lower middle class gentleman trying to find his mom’s native village. Watch him in the 3 videos below.

As you can see Aamir’s make up is brilliant and his tobacco stained teeth are a class apart. And the way he talks with the locals, like he is one of their own, simply endears him to all.
