Aamir Khan Played a Brilliant Chess Move Before the Big Scene

Leave it to Bollywood’s thinking-man’s actor to defuse pre-scene jitters the classy way. Industry chatter suggests he and his co-star took a break before filming to do something utterly simple yet genius: play chess, a game they both loved. A master stroke of on-set psychology.

Talk about setting the mood (the good kind). Instead of awkward small talk or uncomfortable silence before an intimate scene, there was strategy, shared history, and a chance to connect as scene partners in the most relaxed way possible. The move reportedly turned nervous energy into something collaborative and fun.

It’s a masterclass in set professionalism that feels more like friendship than method acting. Making co-stars feel genuinely comfortable during vulnerable moments speaks volumes about an actor’s maturity and respect for their craft. The fact that he remembered their shared love of chess just makes it sweeter.

This is exactly the kind of human-touch storytelling that reminds us why we love these stars. And GaraMasalaFM’s cameras and sources are on it.
