Heart-to-heart talk between Rhea and Aamir
In a new promo shared on Instagram on Sunday, Rhea and Aamir get cozy in what appears to be Rhea’s house. Her husky also joins them for the chat. The promo begins with Rhea showering Aamir with praise about his looks. He says that while Hrithik Roshan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Salman Khan are actors he genuinely thinks are good-looking, he doesn’t give himself equal credit.
Rhea assured him that not only she, but the entire country also thinks he is handsome. When Aamir mentioned that people always criticize him for the way he dresses, Rhea made it clear that she never praised his fashion choices.
Aamir also praised Rhea’s courage, probably for persevering in the face of incessant online attacks and hate when her boyfriend Sushant Singh Rajput died by suicide in 2020 and her family and fans blamed her for it. She even spent a few months in jail for abetting the suicide allegations.
The actors also spoke about coping with grief and how it can overwhelm anyone at any time. Aamir gets emotional and takes a break from talking. He also mentioned the help he received from therapy and the point that marked “Chapter 2” in his life.
Aamir even dropped a soft bombshell, saying that he is now looking to move away from the acting side of films.
More about Chapter 2
The episode will release on August 23. Rhea captioned the promo video on Instagram as, “I’m thrilled to welcome Aamir Khan, a true star and a genuine friend. Stay tuned for an in-depth look at his experience with stardom, fatherhood, grief and more. ✨🤍 #Chapter2 episode releasing on Friday, August 23.”
Aamir was last seen in Laal Singh Chadha, which didn’t do too well at the box office but received praise when it released on OTT.
The first episode of Chapter 2 starred Sushmita Sen.
