Aamir Khan wants to cook

'Ek baar jo maine commitment kardi toh mein apne aap ki bhi nahi sunta.' We know it’s actor Salman Khan’s catch-phrase but we can’t help but think that it aptly fits actor Aamir Khan as well. The actor, as we know has a reputation of being a perfectionist. He is not only a stickler when it comes to his roles on screen but also his real life.

Now a source says that Aamir’s latest obsession is to learn to swim and cook! No, this is not for any role in particular but the actor is apparently fascinated with the idea of arming himself with these two skill sets. Do we see city chef’s worrying already?

Not just this, but the actor apparently is also keen on learning as many foreign languages as he can. The source says that Aamir is on a spree where he wants to improve his personal skills and he realised that there are too many things that he still doesn’t know. “He’s taking time to learn all that he can now,” says the source.

It may be recalled that Aamir is also one of the few actors who has, in the past, taken his on-screen role seriously enough to live it when the cameras are not on too.  He mastered the art of body building and learnt Marathi in the past and pretty much managed to surprise his audience with the result of his dedication.

When he signed Ghajini, Aamir cropped his hair and worked to get a dream body! The source reminds us, “Aamir went a step ahead and while most actors were flaunting six-pack abs, he managed to build an eight pack one! He had hired a personal trainer, shed the extra kilos and looked leaner, chiselled and super-fit with those abs shining. That’s Aamir’s definition of getting into character.”

But, clearly, now his obsession for perfection isn’t just restricted to films. The actor had reportedly expressed his desire to learn Marathi, around a year back, and while most dismissed it as a publicity stunt, the actor actually learnt it!

“Many felt that it was a gimmick to please his Marathi audiences. But he shocked everyone when he not only spoke but also sang a song in the language at the annual Police awards. Nobody till then knew that he was actually learning the language. But that’s Aamir for you,” concludes the source.
