Chammak Challo? What's that, asks Aamir

Everyone knows Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan are not exactly friends. So, why did we get shocked when, at the music launch party of the film Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster in Mumbai on Saturday evening, Aamir pleaded ignorance about SRK’s hit song ‘Chammak Challo’ from his filmRa.One? “What is Chammak Challo? I haven’t seen it yet,” said Aamir, after which he ignored all information being given to him about the song by people gathered.

Guess it is shocking because Chammak Challo is all over the news, everyone is humming it and all the nightclubs, radio and music channels are playing it. Not just that, it features Aamir’s current heroine of the season Kareena Kapoor, who is shooting with him for Reema Kagti’s film and with whom he did the blockbuster film 3 Idiots last year. Surely, if not from anyone else, from Kareena he must have known about the song.

Interestingly, at this same event, when a media person asked Aamir about Salman Khan’s blockbuster Bodyguard, he waxed eloquent. “Salman is not behind me but in front of me. If there is anyone who is number one, that is Salman. Bodyguard has broken all records at the box office in the opening week. I am happy. I sent him a text about the revenue collected from the Bodyguard,” Aamir gushed. He even went on to say he would love to work with Salman in the future. “I would love to work with Salman but until we get a good script, we won’t work together,” he said. We just ‘Khan’ not understand what is going on here!
