Aamir joins Twitter

Aamir Khan officially joined Twitter Thursday and got 47,019 fans in just two hours, surpassing even Amitabh Bachchan.

While Big B, who convinced his young colleague to join the social networking site, got 37,500 followers on his first day of tweeting, Aamir seems set to overtake him.

Aamir, 45, sent his first tweet last night, "Testing: Aamir".

This morning he joined Twitter officially and said in his first message: Bhala gardish falak ki chain deti hai kise Insha, ganimat hai ke hum surat yahan do-chaar baithey hain. Esp for you sir. Love. Thanks for the warm welcome guys. Love. Aamir."

Amitabh had persuaded Aamir to join Twitter when they met over a casual dinner in London some time back. He even taught him how to send tweets through phone. After much persuasion, Aamir finally agreed.

Amitabh welcomed him saying, "Thank you Aamir... You give more due than I deserve ... Happy Tweeting ...."

Is Aamir Khan-Kiran Rao marriage on the rocks?

Rumour has it that all is not well between actor Aamir Khan and his wife Kiran Rao.

It has been a little over a year since Aamir tied the knot with Kiran after divorce from his first wife Reena with whom he has two kids: Ira and Junaid.

For months after their marriage, Aamir and Kiran were often spotted at social dos. But for the last few months they have been hardly seen together. Aamir, who is busy with his next production Taare Zameen Pe , seems to have little time for Kiran nowadays.

In fact, there are reports that quote Aamir’s neighbours as saying that they haven’t seen the couple together since long time.

And the rumours of the split got further fuel recently when Aamir was spotted having dinner with his ex-wife Reena and two kids. They were sharing jokes and having good time like a happy family.

On the other hand, people close to Kiran deny that there is any trouble in Aamir’s marriage with Kiran. They say the actor has been very busy of late and once he is through with this hectic phase things will again fall in place for Aamir and Kiran.

Aamir Khan rues shortage of children's films

Bollywood star Aamir Khan rues the fact that Hindi film industry does not make many movies for children.

Aamir’s next movie Taare Zameen Pe is a children’s film. Aamir plays the teacher of a dyslexic child in it. According to Aamir, it is a story that will not just entertain children but also touch the hearts of adults.

Aamir says it was the story idea of ‘Taare Zameen Pe’ that fascinated him first. He immediately knew he had to make this movie and act in it as well. Then began the tough task of finding the right child artiste for the movie. The search ended at young kid Darsheel Safari.

In Aamir’s words, the film industry tends to ignore children viewers, despite the fact that every family has kids.

“Films meant for kids should be made on a regular basis. Every home has a child, so invariably they too happen to be an important audience for us and we can make so many films for them,” Aamir is quoted as saying in an interview.

‘Taare Zameen Pe’ is directed by Amol Gupte and has music by Shankar Ehsaan and Loy. A part of the movie has been shot near the New Era High School in Panchgani.

The film’s shooting is over and it will hit the theatres later this year. It will be Aamir’s only release in 2007.
