Recalling the funny incident, Aamir said, "Technology and me are so far remote. I will tell you one joke. In 1996, Shah Rukh Khan and I were doing a show together in the USA and UK. Shah Rukh is very much into technology, even at that time, he was up-to-date. Woh time par ek naya computer aaya tha, Toshiba. He told me ki mein le raha hu and it’s a latest computer.. He said I think you should also take this computer."
He continued, "I had never used a computer in my life. Toh I said mujhe kya zaroorat hai computer ki toh he said nahi, tu samaj nahi raha hai, ismein tu office daal, yeh daal woh daal...mereko buhut samjhaya usne toh I said jo tu lega apne liye, wahi tu mere liye lele. So, poor chap, he went and bought two computers, laptop, laptop naya naya aaya tha woh time par. He got his laptop, he got my laptop and I came back to India."

But, funnily enough, Aamir revealed that he didn't even open that laptop for 5 years. "That laptop I did not open even one day and I m not joking. Uss laptop ko 5 saal ke baad mera ek naya manager aaya toh usne bola that sir aapka ek laptop mein dekhta hu hamesha pada rehta hai, can I use it and I said please use it and he opened it and woh on hee nahi hua", he added.
On the work front, Aamir was last seen in Thugs of Hindostan. He is yet to announce his next project.
