Working with Aamir Khan is like a dream come true to many. Not only would you be guided under the finest actors in the industry but also will learn quite a lot about the industry. And we’ve just found out that he’s looking for interns to work with him. You might be wondering what kind of profile you’ll need to work with him because as he is a perfectionist, he would want specific qualities. His Dangal co-star Sanya Malhotra has spilled beans on the same. In an interview with Mid-Day, the actress spoke about how she along with Fatima Sana Shaikh bagged the internship offer and the kind of work they were expected to do while onboard.
Malhotra stated, “In January 2016, we wrapped up the film’s shoot and didn’t have anything to do,” recalls Sanya. “So, Fatima and I decided to go on an India darshan. That’s when AK [that’s how they address Aamir] asked us if we would want to intern with him. For a moment, we went totally blank, but then nodded at the offer.” Wow, that’s pretty cool. What’s cooler is the responsibilities they undertook during their internship. They were a part of Aamir’s Paani Foundation that ventured out to increase the water levels in Maharashtra and make it a drought-free state. Apart from that, Fatima and Sanya were also actively involved in helping with the post production of Secret Superstar and prep work for Thugs of Hindostan.
“People know him as a brilliant actor, but we got to know how brilliant he is as a person. We got a sneak peek into his life. It is encouraging and motivating to learn everything from someone so talented and experienced,” added Sanya. How cool is that! With those being the kind of work you’ll get to do when working with Aamir, the actress also explained what the daily routine is like. She said, “On some days, we would sit for almost five to six hours at Pritam’s [music composer] office working on the background score. Later, we would go with Aamir for dubbing sessions, which would be followed by a meeting with the music or editing team. We would return home by 10 pm. When we went to work, we would listen to stories of how Aamir worked till 4 am.”
Pretty exciting no? Now, who wouldn’t want to work with this man? And luckily you’re getting a chance to do so. All you gotta do is drop your updated resume to Aamir Khan Films’ Bandra office. If selected, you’ll get a call of internship from them.
