Aamir stayed right to the end, patiently hanging around in good humour, his bodyguards hovering (or what seemed to be his bodyguards), as Seth's fans queued and he signed book after book.

The more adventurous autograph hunters collected signatures of both the actor and the author.

Aamir confessed that he and Seth were friends and hence his reason for being there.
