Aamir Khan's other name is Mr Perfectionist. Killing the whole purpose of nicknames because Perfectionist is tougher to spell and pronounce than Aamir. Well, here is one story that corroborates with why the nickname came into existence. So, Aamir, was invited to have dinner with Tim Cook at Shah Rukh Khan's house, Mannat, by the Khans. The actor was preparing for Dangal at that time. Hold on to this piece of information as it comes in handy later in the story. So, when the guests at Mannat, along with Apple CEO, sat down for food, Aamir refused to eat what SRK's wife Gauri was serving. Shah Rukh Khan Shares a Beautiful Selfie with Gauri Khan, with a More Beautiful Message on World Theatre Day.

The story has been revealed by Aamir himself at an event in Mumbai. The saving grace is that the actor was on a very strict diet to get in shape for Dangal. The movie did bring him immense praise, a lot of it directed at his body transformation. "f you ever meet Shah Rukh, ask him this. He’ll tell you a good story. Apple’s Tim Cook had arrived with 4-5 people at his home, from America. So Shah Rukh invited us all to dinner. Gauri (Khan, Shah Rukh’s wife) told me to not leave without having dinner. I assured her that ‘Yes, I’ll have dinner’," Aamir began.

He then added, "She said the food is served. I told her ‘No, no. I have my own tiffin box.’ They were like ‘Yaar, you’ve come to our home and brought your own food?’ I told them it is not a formality, I am just following my diet. This was during Dangal,”

Well, being in the same business must have made the SRK and his wife understand what he meant. We do want to know what Tim Cook's reaction to this must have been. Forrest Gump Remake: Aamir Khan All Set to Undergo Body Transformation, Actor to Lose 20 Kilos for Lal Singh Chaddha.

On the work front, Aamir was last seen in YRF's Thugs of Hindostan. The movie fared well below expectations at the box office. Aamir is prepping up for his role in the remake of Forrest Gump now. We are super excited to see what the actor brings to the table this time. We mean in the movie. Not at Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri's dinner table.
