A recent video showing a luxury bus full of IPS officers entering Aamir Khan’s residential compound had sparked a wave of speculation online. But, the real reason behind the visit has now been clarified — and it’s far more wholesome than expected.
Putting an end to the buzz, a spokesperson from Aamir Khan’s team shared, “The IPS trainees of the current batch had requested a meeting with him, and Aamir Khan hosted them at his residence."
This isn’t the first time the actor has interacted with civil service aspirants. Ever since his 1999 classic Sarfarosh — in which he portrayed a tough and idealistic IPS officer — Khan has become an inspirational figure among police trainees. The actor has reportedly been meeting batches over the years, offering insights into his cinematic journey and broader discussions around patriotism, public service, and nation-building.
Meanwhile, Aamir Khan has been basking in the success of his recent release Sitaare Zameen Par, which collected an impressive ₹165 crore nett at the Indian box office in its first month. Directed by RS Prasanna and co-starring Genelia D’Souza, the film has earned praise for its sensitive portrayal of inclusivity and neurodivergence.
Next up, the superstar is heading to Australia as the Chief Guest for the 2025 Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM), to be held from August 14 to 24. The festival will host a retrospective honouring Khan’s monumental contributions to Indian cinema, culminating in a special spotlight on Sitaare Zameen Par.
On the acting front, Aamir has a busy slate. He is set to star in Coolie, alongside superstar Rajinikanth, and also in a film directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. Additionally, he’s confirmed to headline Rajkumar Hirani’s much-anticipated biopic on Dadasaheb Phalke — the father of Indian cinema.
