However, things didn’t work out for the actor as his stepmom Kiran Rao thought that Sparsh Shrivastava was better suited for the role. He said that he also agreed to his casting as he did a fantastic job. He also stated that even though he wasn’t selected for the role, their relationship remained unaffected. Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao are truly the people who put their work over their relationships. This is exactly the point of view we need for better people to suit roles in the industry.
