Aamir Khan cleared the air around this case of mistaken identity
Social media was flooded with birthday wishes for Aamir Khan as the Bollywood star turned a year older on Monday - but some fans of the actor unwittingly directed their messages to a different Aamir Khan. A Bar and Bench journalist, who shares his name with the superstar, found his verified Twitter profile tagged in a number of posts meant for Aamir Khan, the actor, yesterday. Mr Khan cleared the air around this case of mistaken identity with a tongue-and-cheek clarification shared on the microblogging platform towards the end of the day. Thanks for all the wishes, on the birthday of actor Aamir Khan, who is NOT on @Twitter
"Thanks for all the wishes, on the birthday of actor Aamir Khan, who is NOT on Twitter," the journalist wrote.
Superstar Aamir Khan needs no introduction. While his iconic roles in films like Lagaan, Taare Zameen Par and 3 Idiots have won him professional accolades, he likes to keep his personal life private. Aamir Khan does not attend award functions or industry parties, is rarely photographed by paparazzi and went off social media last year.
