Bollywood actor, Aamir Khan launched Manjeet Hirani’s How to be a Human - Life Lessons by Buddy Hirani at a bookstore on 5 March in Bandra, Mumbai.
Manjeet, who is also the wife of Rajkumar Hirani, spoke about her muse. Manjeet elaborated on how her dog Buddy changed her life ever since he arrived at their door one day. Every chapter of the book is about how Buddy inspires Rajkumar and his family to live their day-to-day life. The book also talks about how a dog in the house can alter one’s perspective on life and change the way one experiences life. Her book is beautifully illustrated for dog-lovers.
While talking about his love for pets, Aamir Khan reminisced about his childhood and interspersed it with tales of his present pets.
“Since childhood I have loved dogs and have been very close to them. My dogs name is Emili and I also have a cat named Milli. Dogs are much better than human beings as they are not at all judgmental. Kiran gets irritated with me as she loves Emili but Emili follows me and gives less attention to Kiran.”Aamir Khan, Actor
As Aamir unveiled Manjeet Hiranis’s book, he was asked about if he will ever write a book to which he replied,
“I have never thought about writing a book but if I ever write it, it will be about my life, career and my struggles. Right now I am busy with films and cannot give time to pen it down.”Aamir Khan, Actor
Remembering the late actor Sridevi at the book launch, Aamir said,
“We all are extremely sad on the untimely demise of actor Sridevi. My heart goes out to Boney and the entire Kapoor family. She deserves Oscar and many more such honors.”
