From the audience, Aamir addressed Javed on stage, saying, &#8220;I always enjoy listening to you, so I keep watching your videos on YouTube and even call you afterward. I have a question for you: you have been working in the industry for such a long time. You\u2019ve worked with people of different generations, from those your own age when you began, to younger collaborators as you grew more senior, and now, in your eighties, with people in their twenties. How do you remain relevant across generations?\u201dSharing the stage with Irani, Javed responded in his signature witty, humourous fashion before tackling the question seriously. \u201cFirst of all, don\u2019t say \u2018eighties,\u2019\u201d he quipped. \u201cBecause even 87 falls in the eighties, and I\u2019m only 80. The \u2018s\u2019 you\u2019ve added has had a very negative effect on my age.\u201d The witty remark sparked laughter in the room, with Aamir himself smiling and replying, \u201cMy apologies.\u201dOn the work front, Aamir was last seen in &#8216;Sitaare Zameen Par&#8217; and has recently revealed that a sequel to &#8216;3 Idiots&#8217; is currently in the writing phase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Veteran lyricist and screenwriter Javed Akhtar, known as much for his razor-sharp wit as his literary brilliance, recently&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":765568,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[314334,314333,33527,41142,171,11350,314332,314335,53,314336,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-765567","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-3-idiots-sequel","9":"tag-aamir-khan-interview","10":"tag-abhishek-bachchan","11":"tag-boman-irani","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-javed-akhtar","14":"tag-javed-akhtar-age","15":"tag-javed-akhtar-relevance","16":"tag-movies","17":"tag-spiral-bound-initiative","18":"tag-united-states","19":"tag-unitedstates","20":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116498415521672472","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/765567","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=765567"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/765567\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/765568"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=765567"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=765567"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=765567"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
