Aamir Khan's unknown obsessions

He loves the company of children. Their innocence and gift of intelligence baffle him. He therefore enjoyed making Tare Zameen Par and Talaash. When he was making the latter he used to wake up every morning saying to himself my son is dead. He wanted to fill his mind with grief and get into the character of the hero who loses his young son and can't get over it. And that explains why there is so much meat in all the characters he plays. He remains in that mood of the character and allows no one to intrude that space. It also becomes difficult for him to come out of that character.
