Crown Princess of Sweden dines with Aamir Khan

By Bollywood Hungama News Network, October 22, 2008 - 18:17 IST

Crown Princess of Sweden, Victoria, who also happens to be the apparent heir to the prestigious throne of Sweden, had invited our very own superstar, Aamir Khan, for an exclusive dinner with her during her ongoing state visit to India.

Since she happened to be one of the many zillions who had seen Aamir's masterpiece Taare Zameen Par, she was highly appreciative of his film. And in reciprocation, Aamir replied, "It is a privilege to receive a special invitation like this".

Needless to say that, in this moment of honor, Aamir's lovely wife Kiran Rao was there by her hubby's side! As it was time to bid farewell, Aamir gifted Princess Victoria an antique lithograph (sketches of India during the colonial period), while she gifted him a DVD collection of the legendary Ingmar Bergman's films.

Way to go, Aamir!

I happen to be a big Aamir fan, but this article had me laughing my head about its hyperbole. TZP was a great film, but it is not like it is some classic in terms of world cinema or something that people all over have seen. If you are of South Asian origin perhaps, but otherwise, probably not. Praise him, fine, but keep the praise at least sensible enough that someone with half a brain can see how biased this sounds.
