Aamir Snubs Kangana

Aamir Khan, the perfectionist actor-turned-director who had a resounding success with his Taare Zameen Par, snubbed the gorgeous starlet Kangana Ranaut at a function recently.

Kangana Ranaut, who rushed to greet the actor after spotting him at the venue, got only a dismissive response from him. The lady became furious at this attitude of the perfectionist Khan and returned to her friends murmuring ‘what the hell Aamir thinks of himself.’

The sources present on the occasion say that Kangana Ranaut was very excited and rattled off the names of several of Aamir Khan’s films, which she had seen and immensely liked, but his response was limited to single words like ‘okay’. Not only this, Aamir Khan even ignored her and continued with the conversation that he was having with some other guests at the time.

The buzz doing the rounds is that Aamir Khan’s strange behaviour with Kangana Ranaut was the result of Kangana’s overenthusiastic attitude during the time of casting for ‘ Ghajini’ remake. At the time of selecting the female lead for the remake, Aamir Khan was seriously considering Kangana for the lead role and talks were in final stages. But Kangana Ranaut could not keep this secret till the time of finalization of the cast by Aamir and hence was ousted from the project.

As everybody knows in the Industry that Aamir Khan never wanted anybody to know about real casting for the movie till he finalized and announced it on his own end. Kangana, being new to the way of bollywood and Aamir Khan’s style of working, could not maintain this secrecy and the information leaked in the media. Aamir was terribly upset about this and perhaps the strange behaviour at the function was his way of getting even with the ‘ Gangster’ star.

But another school views the cold behaviour of Aamir Khan as a proof of his vindictive nature and arrogance in the industry. Recently, Aamir was also in controversy with Big B over Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film ‘ Black.’ Aamir Khan’s unwarranted comments had hurt the sentiments of Amitabh Bachchan and the two fought the war in media about their films ‘ Black’ and ‘ Lagaan’.

Perhaps Aamir’s arrogance has further increased with the great success and critical acclaim that he received from the success of ‘ Taare Zameen Par’ at the box office.
