Darsheel Safary on why he doesn’t ask Aamir Khan for work
Darsheel shared that people get upset that he doesn’t ask Aamir for work, adding that they aren’t brothers and he feels shy. He said, “Whatever work I’ve done after the pandemic has been through zero contacts. Auditions and screen tests allow me to understand whether I’m able to do [a role] and also help producers and directors understand if I fit it.”
“People get upset that I don’t ask Aamir for work. But I feel too shy to do that. He is not my brother so I can call him and say,’Please get me a script.’ My chosen path has been to [only] send him best wishes, like a text on his birthday. It’s just how I preferred it,” he added.
