When A Teetotaller Aamir Khan Ended Up Drinking A Bottle Of Vodka For This Movie!
November 30, 2021
To this, the actor replied saying, âWell, what I did for that simply was⊠since Iâm a teetotaller and until then I had never drunk, I decided to do that scene, you know, under the influence of alcohol. Well, I ended up drinking a bottle of vodka (giggles). I wasnât acting well. I told my director, I said, âlook Iâm not confident of playing this scene and I donât know what itâs like to be drunk and Iâm quite sure Iâll mess it up. So let me actually consume alcohol, so that the physicality is taken care of, you know, the way my eyes move, the way the body language happens, a bit of a speech and I have to be with the emotion, and I have to know my lines. But Iâll get this external help which I can use. So that is why I did that.â

The fans who have seen âRaja Hindustaniâ would acknowledge that indeed the scene where Aamir gets drunk and (emotionally) bursts out in anger on Karisma Kapoor, who plays the role of his wife, is one of the most intense ones where the actor stole the show hands down with his power-packed performance.
Later, Aamir went on to win the prestigious Filmfare Award for Best Actor (first time) for his performance in âRaja Hindustaniâ. But, sadly he didnât attend the ceremony that year and never made it to any future ones also, as he decided to never attend them.
