In his forthcoming film Raj Kumar Hirani directed P.K. the superstar will be seen talking in Bhojpuri. According to Aamir's spokesperson the actor is now heard speaking in Bhojpuri to people around him.
Instead of greeting people in English or Hindi, Aamir has switched to Bhojpuri lingo.
After learning Bhojpuri lines and rattling them off for his Christmas release, P.K., the actor has been fluently conversing in the newly learnt language with everyone, we are told.
Aamir converses in Bhojpuri with his staff, kids, colleagues, friends and in fact, anyone who drops by to meet him. "He will order tea in Bhojpuri, suddenly break into the language in the middle of a conversation and sees you off with a "Phir milab."
The actor learnt fluent Bhojpuri for his film and he wants to continue speaking the language so that he can speak it as fluently as English or Hindi.
Aamir had earlier learnt Marathi and swimming for one of his earlier films as well. That was then. According to photographers who had gone to cover a celebrity football match organized by Aamir Khan's daughter Ira last week, Aamir spoke to them in Marathi. He even inquired about their decision to not click Salman Khan on the occasion. He even offered to intervene and resolve the imbroglio. All this was done in Marathi.
We think Aamir knew that it was serious issue he was discussing. He must have thought better to speak to the photographers in the language they are most comfortable in. Imagine Aamir discussing the issue in Bhojpuri. It could have resulted in a miscommunication.
