Mumbai: He may have become irregular on his blog, but Aamir Khan is barely sleeping these days.

The star makes late-night rendezvous to meet friends he's made online -- without them knowing his real identity.

Believe it or not, the star stays awake almost all night, chatting with his 'online friends'.

But none of his friends know that the profile name 'Pucca Idiott' is actually Aamir Khan.

When DNA got in touch with the star on his personal ID, he confirmed his late night chat sessions. But that's not the end of the story -- Aamir has also started meeting his late-night 'friends'.

DNA also got hold of pictures of Aamir Khan meeting one such friend in a coffee shop.

His spokesperson has now confirmed that he does meet some female fans at coffee shops in and around Bandra. "He not only makes new friends but goes out to meet them too. He recently met a female friend whom he first started talking to on Facebook. The girl in the picture is Annie Gill. She is his Facebook friend. Aamir did meet her over coffee," the spokesperson said. According to sources close to Aamir, the urge to come on Facebook, chat up fans anonymously and then meet them in coffee shops stemmed from a desire to shed the usual starry aloofness.

"Aamir Khan has been interacting with people on social networking sites under various pseudo names. Pucca Idiott is only one of them. On his blog, he is a star, and mostly fans visit it. He wants to make friends on Facebook and not just talk to fans, as he genuinely wants to understand their likes and dislikes. He has been very active on Facebook for over a year now and has been connecting with the youth. He met this girl (Annie Gill) a few days back even though he is keeping a very busy schedule," added the spokesperson.

So if you are looking to meet Aamir, you know just how to get started.
