PIX: Caught Aamir Khan's food fixation on screen?
If you took all the screen time Aamir Khan has spent eating and put it all together, you'd have a full length Hindi movie!
Okay, we're kidding.
But it came to our notice that Mr Perfectionist has done quite a few scenes in his long career, where he's seen eating with quite a relish.
We see him eating out of a thali as he speaks to a friend in one of the promos for his first ever television show, Satyamev Jayte.
Here's looking at other such instances where we spotted Aamir around food!
In Dhobi Ghat
In his wife Kiran Rao's first directorial venture Dhobi Ghat, Aamir Khan plays a writer and we catch a glimpse of him making eggs in the kitchen.
In 3 Idiots
Like scores of college boys in real life, Aamir Khan's Rancho gatecrashes a wedding with friends Farhan and Raju for the free food.
The hapless engineering students are unaware of the fact that it's the wedding of their much-feared college dean's daughter.
In Ghajini
Aamir Khan plays telecom tycoon Sanjay Singhania who roams around Mumbai with his ladylove pretending to be a commoner.
Kalpana (Asin) takes him out for pani puri where Sanjay proves quite inept at handling the spicy snack and takes out his credit card when it's time to pay.
In Fanaa
When Hrehaan (Aamir) lands up on Zooni's (Kajol) doorstep after fleeing from the army, he passes out and is nursed back to health by her and her father (Rishi Kapoor).
It's when he's back on his feet that we see him eating his first meal while his host tries to start a conversation.
In Dil Chahta Hai
Aakash (Aamir Khan) befriends Shalini (Preity Zinta) while they are on their way to Australia and promptly calls her up for lunch the next day.
While digging hungrily into his salad, Akash exclaims,"Heavenly!" and the two get acquainted over a poolside lunch out in the open.
In Rang De Basanti
Aamir Khan plays Daljit, who's passed out of his Delhi University college but still hangs around the campus and can always be found in the college canteen with friends.
When he goes to visit his mother (Kirron Kher) with his group of friends, they are seen having a meal at his family dhaba as DJ fllirts with the firang.
In Andaz Apna Apna
Aamir Khan and Salman Khan star in this iconic comedy caper and are vying for the affection of a rich heiress.
In one of the many comic scenes, Aamir Khan sneaks in suspicious power in Salman Khan's food as the latter is planning to propose to the heiress. What follows is hilarious toilet humour, desi style.
In Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahi
In Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahi, Aamir Khan is seen breaking a melon and eating it with a relish before he offers it to Pooja Bhatt, the girl he's starting to develop feelings for.
