Aamir Khan on The Great Indian Kapil Show: Aamir Khan graced the stage of 'The Great Indian Kapil Show' on Netflix. The superstar who is not known to frequent any shows or award functions, conversed with Kapil Sharm engaging in fun banter. The actor shared about his career and anecdotes from his life. The actor also revealed how he got the famous Mr Perfectionist tag. 

How Aamir Khan got Mr Perfectionist tag
Aamir shared that it was none other than Shabana Azmi who named him a Perfectionist. It dates back to the time when he was shooting for ‘Dil’ which was being directed by Indra Kumar and the cameraman was Baba Azmi. They were having a deep discussion about films at Baba Azmi's house when Shabana Azmi offered Aamir tea and asked how much sugar will he take in his tea. Super engrossed in his conversation, Aamir turned to her and said "How big is the glass?" When she showed him how big the cup was, Aamir, still engrossed in the ongoing conversation, trying his best to answer her accurately, said, " Chamcha kitna bada hai?" and finally requested for 1 spoon of sugar in his tea. He spoke about how Shabana Azmi went around telling people about this incident saying if you ever ask Aamir for sugar in his tea, he will first ask you for the cup size and then the size of the spoon. 

Aamir Khan recalls the incident when ex-wif Rina slapped him
Aamir also recalled the time when his ex-wife Reena Dutta was in labour and she slapped him as he was trying to show breathing exercises to her.  He said, “Let me give you an idea of what I notice. It was the day when Junaid was about to be born. Reena Ji was in labour. We were at the hospital. And as a good husband, I practised some breathing exercises. As the labour got intense, I tried to calm her down with it. But I got slapped, followed by, ‘Stop this nonsense!’ Reena Ji was in immense pain. She even bit my hand."   

Aamir also thanked the entire team of Kapil Sharma’s show for bringing laughter into people's lives and also admitted that the last two years have been tough on him and that's when he found solace in Kapil's show.
