Aamir Khan, one of Bollywood’s top stars, shared a heartwarming story about his friend and colleague Shah Rukh Khan during a recent interview while promoting his upcoming film “Sitare Zameen Par.”
Aamir recalled a time years ago when he and Shah Rukh were on a tour together. Shah Rukh casually mentioned that he was planning to buy a new laptop. Aamir admitted that at the time, he didn’t even know what a laptop was.
To Aamir’s surprise, the very next day Shah Rukh gifted him a brand-new, high-end Toshiba laptop. It was a thoughtful gesture that touched Aamir deeply. “I used that laptop for many years,” Aamir revealed fondly, cherishing the gift from his friend.

The anecdote highlights the warm friendship between the two Bollywood superstars, despite their perceived rivalry in the industry. Aamir’s upcoming film “Sitare Zameen Par” is set to release on June 20, 2025.
It marks his return to the silver screen after the box office disappointment of his previous film “Laal Singh Chaddha.”
In the interview, Aamir also described himself as “digitally handicapped” and more of an analog person. He confessed that after receiving the laptop from Shah Rukh, he completely forgot about it for four years. It wasn’t until his manager asked to use the laptop that Aamir remembered the gift.
When they tried to turn it on, it didn’t even power up anymore. While Aamir’s admission might surprise Shah Rukh’s fans, the story serves as a reminder of the deep bonds and mutual respect between the two actors that have endured since the early days of their careers.
