Imran Khan’s rare appearance with girlfriend Lekha at Sitaare Zameen Par’s screening grabs netizens eyeballs

Popular actor and nephew of Aamir Khan, Imran Khan, made a highly anticipated public appearance last night. He attended the screening of Aamir's film, Sitaare Zameen Par, accompanied by his partner, Lekha Washington. The stylish couple garnered attention, posing for photos together. Imran's presence was a demonstration of his unwavering support not only for his uncle, Aamir Khan, but also for his "Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na" co-star, Genelia Deshmukh, who plays a key role in the film.

Last night, the screening of Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par was graced by the presence of Imran Khan and his girlfriend, Lekha Washington, who radiated happiness as they posed for the paparazzi. Imran, ever the style icon, sported a black tee, layered with an olive green jacket and dark blue denim jeans, showcasing a casual yet refined look. Lekha, on the other hand, was a vision of chic elegance in a flowing green printed dress.

After a brief photo session, Lekha began to head towards the theater entrance. However, Imran, ever mindful of the photographers' enthusiasm, gently guided her back, gesturing towards the waiting cameras with a warm smile. Without hesitation, Lekha returned, joining him for a few more memorable poses.

The premiere brought together the Sitaare Zameen Par team, including Aamir's son, Azaad Rao Khan, and marked Gauri Spratt's first public appearance with Aamir. The event was also graced by the presence of Vicky Kaushal, Tamannaah Bhatia, Tiger Shroff, and Riteish Deshmukh.

R.S. Prasanna's Sitaare Zameen Par, a spiritual successor to Taare Zameen Par, tells the story of nine neurodivergent children. The film explores themes of acceptance and triumph, promising to resonate with audiences through its message of empathy and perseverance.

Aamir Khan, returning after a three-year hiatus, has meticulously ensured Sitaare Zameen Par is both sensitive and authentic. He describes the film as "emotional and uplifting," aiming to shift perceptions and promote greater awareness of neurodivergence and inclusion within educational and familial settings.

Review By India Forums

Director R.S. Prasanna packages the screenplay with a balanced mix of emotion and humour. The film runs over two and a half hours, but rarely feels stretched. The pacing is engaging, with every scene contributing either a chuckle or a tug at your heart. The humour is genuinely funny, some punchlines land so well you'll find yourself clapping, and the emotional beats are tender, never manipulative. The screenplay is peppered with small but significant moments that reveal the nuances of each character. Even as the focus stays on Gulshan's evolution, the film takes care to give the kids their due space and dignity, highlighting their individual stories and strengths.
