Is Aamir Khan in trouble? 25 IPS officers reach his home due to...
A video has surfaced showing police vehicles exiting Aamir Khan's Bandra residence. According to reports, a team of 25 IPS officers visited the actor's house recently. While the reason behind their arrival remains unclear, the internet hasn't stopped buzzing. Fans spotted the clip online, and theories started flying, from a surprise collaboration to legal trouble; everyone had a guess. Did Aamir's team know? According to reports, Aamir's team responded with a surprising admission, 'We are still trying to know from Aamir.' Even those closest to him seem to have been caught off guard. Was it related to his film? Aamir Khan is currently riding high on the success of Sitare Zameen Par, which has made around Rs 165 crore in India. The film, starring Genelia D'Souza alongside Aamir, is still running strong. Some fans speculated whether the police presence had something to do with promotions, a shoot, or even security arrangements—but nothing has been confirmed. What about his personal life? In recent months, Aamir has been making headlines for reasons beyond the big screen. He has often been spotted with his rumoured partner Gauri Spratt, adding to the public intrigue around his personal life. So, what was the police visit about? For now, it remains a mystery. No official statement has been released, and even Aamir's close circle seems to be in the dark. Until then, the video continues to gather views, and the whispers aren't stopping anytime soon. Professionally, he's got big things lined up. In August, Aamir will travel to Australia to attend the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne, where he's the chief guest and will be honoured for his contribution to cinema. 'I'm thrilled and grateful to be a part of the film festival… I'm excited to share my journey with Melbourne,' Aamir said in a statement. He's also set to portray Dadasaheb Phalke, the father of Indian cinema, in Rajkumar Hirani's upcoming biopic.
