Salman Khan painted two huge portraits of Aamir Khan which were unveiled in front of the media by Ghajini starlet Asin in a South Mumbai mmultiplex. These two paintings are Salman’s interpretations of the character Aamir plays in his Ghajini — one represents a stately figure, the other symbolises angst. This is not the first time that Salman has painted his fellow actors, but this is the first that he has painted an actor’s character connected to a film. It took him around two weeks to finish the paintings.
Incidentally, Asin, who’s making her Bollywood debut with Aamir, will next be seen romancing Salman in London Dreams. Aamir, who was keen that his co-star do the unveiling, said, “I had absolutely no idea that Salman is such a talented painter. He has made two paintings of me, one is a more real representation and the other, which I am even more impressed with, is an impression of my new look. He has an amazing sense of aesthetics. I was very touched by his gesture.”
Asin meanwhile tells us, “I had heard about his painting abilities but for the first time now I got to see what a fabulous artist he is. I wish Salman paints my portrait sooner now.”
