This week’s episode of ‘Zindagi Live’, IBN 7’s popular talk show, celebrates the innocence and wonders of childhood with none other than Aamir Khan. Appearing before an audience comprised of children alone, Khan takes a walk down memory lane and candidly shares anecdotes of when he was little. What’s more, the tiny tots excitedly ask him questions about his upcoming film, ‘Taare Zameen Par’, his past movies, and even present him with a number of gifts that they made especially for him. Don’t miss this unforgettable Christmas special on December 22 at 10 am & 8 pm, December 24 at 12:30 pm and December 25 at 12 pm only on IBN 7.

After proving his mettle as accomplished actor and producer, Aamir Khan has now taken the next big step of becoming a director. And for his directorial debut he has chosen a subject that is particularly close to his heart – children. ‘Taare Zameen Par’ is the story of a young boy who is special in an unconventional way and whose interests, elders around him, fail to understand. Speaking on ‘Zindagi Live’, Khan shares the reasons and the inspirations behind such a story choice and the need to put himself in their shoes to understand them as best as he could. While reminiscing about his childhood, he is surprised by his schoolteacher – whom he hasn’t seen in over twenty years.

After being bombarded with questions from the young audience about everything from ‘Taare Zameen Par’ to re-enacting eating a fish (as he had done in ‘Dil Chahta Hai’) Khan takes on the role of a Santa and distributes sweets amongst the thrilled children.

“Zindagi Live is a show that captures the real emotions of life – the adversities, the joys, the celebrations and the sorrows. This episode of Zindagi Live is particularly special because it sees one of Bollywood’s biggest stars reminisce about his childhood and share them candidly with an audience of children.” Said Ashutosh, Managing Editor, IBN 7
