When we asked readers to shares their experiences of meeting with Aamir Khan, we were pleasantly surprised with the response. We received not only exciting anecdotes but also quite a few pictures!

We featured some of these anecdotes in the first part of our series, to celebrate Aamir's 40th birthday on March 14.

We present some more anecdotes from our dear readers!

Aamir plays gilli danda!
Sujeet Vaidya

I write this on behalf of my gang. After two years, we can't still believe that it occurred!

It happened on January 1, 2003. We were a big group of 14 people celebrating the New Year in Panchgani. We decided to play gilli danda near the bungalow where we were staying.

I was in the catching position in the outfield away from the road, when a silver Mercedes pulled up. We had to stop the game to let the car pass.

A sudden loud spontaneous cheer went up among my friends who were closer to the car, as it passed them. They started yelling that Aamir Khan [Images] was driving the car. Everyone were happy. I did not see Aamir.

The game resumed. After a while, the silver Mercedes was on its way back. My friends literally did a rasta roko of sorts and there was no way the car could go anywhere.

Aamir and his Lagaan [Images] co-star (Amin Hajee, who played Bagha, the mute) stepped out. The girls were ready to faint, and so were the guys! I ran like crazy back to the bungalow, and brought our cameras and began clicking pictures.

Aamir even played a round of gilli danda with us. We taught him the rules. Hajee was familiar with the game.

We played for about 15 minutes. He was hitting the gilli all over and we were cheering every shot!

Later, he posed for pictures, chatted with us and signed autographs. Then he left, while our memories stayed on. It was an excellent start to 2003!

Starring Aamir-SRK?

I once met Aamir Khan on an international flight, when he was on his way to the US after Lagaan was nominated for the Oscars.

I was travelling on an assignment to Milan and was flying by Lufthansa via Frankfurt. Aamir was quiet initially, going through some papers. When he was finished, he looked at me and saw that I was busy with a presentation. He asked me where I was from.

After the initial pleasantries, we got into a serious discussion. I was pleasantly surprised to see that Aamir was quite knowledgeable and sharp. I am a fan of Aamir Khan ever since I saw Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak.

I asked him one question that had been on my mind for a while -- why hasn't he costarred with Shah Rukh Khan [Images] in a movie yet? That would be a casting coup.

Aamir just smiled and kept quiet. I prodded further -- was it the combined cost of the cast that is keeping the producers away?

At this, Aamir laughed and added that he was ready if SRK [Images] was willing.

Let's keep our fingers crossed.
