Behind the creative force that is Aamir Khan lies a curious mind. His interest in spirituality, particularly Jainism, is well-known. Every year, the actor-producer practices the custom of seeking forgiveness on the last day of the Jain festival, Paryushana, by posting the message of Michhami dukhadam. In 2021, in his endeavour to understand the principles of Jainism better, Khan had participated in a discussion with Jain saint-professor Dr Mahendra Kumar and other monks at the Jain Terapant Bhavan in Elphinstone Road. After Dr Kumar passed away last week, the actor paid tribute to him at his prayer meeting at Vile Parle on Sunday.
Producer Mahaveer Jain, who had introduced Khan to the saint, says that the actor fondly remembered him. “At the prayer meet, Aamir bhai paid tribute to the professor-scientist, MuniShree, and launched his upcoming books. He also remembered his insightful conversations with MuniShree, and added that he admired Jain philosophies,” shares Jain.
