Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan might be considering an exit from the entertainment industry. On Sunday, actor Rhea Chakraborty released a teaser for an upcoming episode of her podcast, Chapter 2, featuring a candid chat between her and Khan. During the conversation, Khan reveals, "Mujhe filmo se hatna hai [I want to move away from movies]," to which Chakraborty playfully retorts, "Jooth [lies]." Khan insists, "Nahi main sach bol raha hu [no, I’m telling the truth]." The teaser also captures Khan getting emotional, visibly shedding tears.
Following the underperformance of his film Laal Singh Chaddha in 2022, Khan had announced a hiatus from acting. He explained at a Delhi event that he was originally slated to film another project, Champions, but chose to take a break instead. "When I am doing a film as an actor, I get so lost that nothing else happens in my life. I was supposed to do a film after Laal Singh Chaddha called Champions. It's a wonderful script, a beautiful story, and it's a very heartwarming and lovely film. But I feel that I want to take a break and be with my family, my mom, and my kids," he shared.
Chakraborty expressed her excitement about hosting Khan on Instagram, writing, "I'm thrilled to welcome Aamir Khan, a true star and a genuine friend. Stay tuned for a deep dive about his experience with stardom, parenthood, grief, and more." The full episode is set to release on August 23.
