Aamir Khan has once again visited China and this time it was a surprise visit. He was invited to the World Cultural Forum in Taihu where film makers from across the world would discuss on the power of cinema and intercultural communication amongst countries.
The visit gave us many memorable snaps of Aamir Khan and also emphasised the importance of cinema and arts. War has never been a solution to any problem in the world. Love is the only way out. No better love than the love of Cinema between two countries where Cinema thankfully is a religion. Aamir Khan can certainly act as the ambassador of love and harmony between the two nations. When he talks, people listen, people believe and people follow. The country with the highest population in the world China is obsessed with Aamir Khan. The country with the second highest population India has been in awe of him since thirty years.
Cinema and Sports are a great means of binding two nations. In a cinema frenzy nation like India and a nation like China which would in a couple of years become the biggest movie market in the world, the contribution of cinema towards building a healthy society could be of enormous proportions. Aamir Khan has always believed in the power of cinema to bring about a change to the society, to influence the minds of the movie goers in such a way that they can bring a positive change in their lives. For Aamir, cinema apart from being simply a medium to entertain has also been a medium to enrich, a medium to influence and a medium to propagate love.
I remember Indian politician and author Shashi Tharoor had once tweeted" India's secret superstar might bring us closer to China. The extra ordinary popularity of Aamir in China could help bridge the cultural and political divide". He is absolutely right. Aamir Khan popularity in China is the kind of unheard of for any actor ever from India in any foreign land. The people of China are simply in awe of the genius Khan. He entered into their hearts through 3 idiots and their love and admiration for Aamir just keeps growing. Crazy Fan clubs of Aamir in China, he is the Indian with the maximum number of followers on Weibo in China, his movies do unreal business in China. Keeping all these factors aside, what I noticed with my interaction with few of his Chinese fans is that what connected them with Aamir was his good nature and his humility. His movies always convey a message of love, compassion, humility and to dream.
Aamir Khan has interacted with many dignitaries in his recent visit to China where he also spoke of the power of cinema. He looked dapper with that spectacles and his new looks, looking younger then ever before. No actor from Indian cinema could be well versed to bridge the gap between the two nations. Not only because of his immense popularity and fan following in the China Mainland, however also because of his cinematic knowledge and the way he contributes to the society. The Chinese also have loved his show 'Satyameva Jayate' and they even translated it in Chinese language. The issues raised in the show touched everyone's heart. When you have Aamir Khan, there is certainly content available and substance attached to it.
Of course, Aamir Khan also did not disappoint his Chinese fans. He chatted with them on Weibo, even spelling Chinese tongue twisters, singing his cult song "Aati Kya Khandala" to the joy of his Chinese fans. The Chinese fans just cannot get enough of Aamir Khan, who they fondly call as "Uncle Mi"
