When Aamir became Farah Khan's teacher

Farah Khan will soon start teaching choreography to students at a 12-week course. But she has never forgotten that it was Aamir Khan who taught her about cinema and choreography moves.

Farah tells us, "My first day as a choreographer was on the sets Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander and I was very nervous. Aamir insisted on calling me Masterniji (laughs) and that made it worse for me. I know he was pulling my leg because till then I was an assistant giving claps on the sets and now suddenly I had a whistle around my neck.

I have to add that the unit and Aamir were very sporting about it. It was Aamir who sat patiently and taught us about the basics of dancing. I see that people today don't know the basic grammar of filmmaking like the left and right side of the camera. That is something you need to teach people. You break the rules but learn the grammar just once.

Aamir was my teacher in the first song in the film as he taught me the left and right of camera, which is the invisible line, how both the actors in the same frame should not look in the same direction, camera lensing etc. They were things which even now people don't know or are bothered about."
