Aamir recreates the viral moment
Aamir recently met influencer Prakhar Gupta for a conversation while promoting his upcoming film, Sitaare Zameen Par. And they took a moment to recreate the reel while poking fun at the “perfectionist” tag.
The reel came with the title, “When you ask Aamir to trade perfection for a list of back-to-back movies”. In the reel, Prakhar is seen handing Aamir several pages of script, and Aamir’s reaction transforms into mock frustration, humourously exaggerating his focus on being a perfectionist. Aamir is seen banging his fist on the table and then dramatically stomping around Prakhar.
It is a recreation of Magnus Carlsen table slam moment, which had left the internet chuckling earlier this month. D Gukesh scripted history at the recently concluded Norway Chess 2025, where he claimed his maiden classical win vs Magnus Carlsen. And a moment from a match between Magnus Carlsen and D Gukesh went viral, where the Norwegian was seen slamming a table after losing to the Indian chess prodigy.

The video featuring Aamir has fans in stitches. They are flocking to the comment section, buzzing with excitement. “How the hell did u convince him,” one wrote, with another writing, “Trend winner”.
“Lmao,” one shared. Another user mentioned, “Mr. Perfection”. “Aamir Khan playing @gukesh.official…unexpected biography,” wrote one.
“A re-creation no one saw coming,” one comment read, with another reading, “Best meme ever”.
