Aamir has been on Koffee with Karan twice before. But never alone. First time, he appeared with wife Kiran Rao in December 2013. Three years later, on the eve of the release of Dangal – his record-setting sports biographical, Aamir appeared on the show again in December 2016 with his co-stars and debutant actresses Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanaya Malhotra. They play his wrestler daughters in the film. This episode was one of the most memorable of KJo’s popular show.

And now we have it that the superstar will have ‘Koffee’ with Karan for the third time just before Diwali. Coincidentally, Aamir appears on Koffee with Karan once again just before the release of a big ticket Bollywood film. This time it is YRF’s epic action-adventure Thugs of Hindostan in which Aamir co-stars with Amitabh Bachchan, Katrina Kaif and Fatima Sana Shaikh. The actor, who maintained the film’s swashbuckling pirate look for long, recently went in for a makeover and appeared in public in a striking, young avatar. You’ll have to wait to see if he manages to upstage Karan in the looks department!
