“I kind of fell in love for the first time when I was about 10 or 11. It was silent love, one-sided love but I was madly in love with this girl. I couldn’t express, no way! I was a very shy person,” he said. On being asked if she was aware of his feelings for her, he said, “I don’t think so.” He revealed that he met the girl afterwards too but never told her about his feelings, as he did not ‘have the courage’.

Aamir said that back in the day, he had poor fortune in the pursuit of romantic relationships. “Actually, I was very unlucky in love, early on. I remember, the first three times, I was rejected. After the third time, I was like, ‘This is not working for me.’ It was not until I was 16 or something that I finally met a girl who also liked me,” he said.
