Veteran lyricist and screenwriter Javed AkhtarKnown for her sharp wit as much as her literary brilliance, she recently shared an adorable moment with Aamir Khan when they attended an event recently. The exchange unfolded at an event hosted by the actor Boman IraniScript initiative, Spiral Bound. The evening was attended by several familiar faces including Anil Kapoor, Abhishek BachchanAnanya Panday and Ishaan Khatter.Aamir Khan was seen there asking a question to Javed Akhtar on how he has remained consistent throughout his career spanning five decades. From the audience, he addressed Aamir Javed on stage, saying, “I always enjoy listening to you, so I keep watching your videos on YouTube and then I also call you. I have a question for you: You’ve been working in the industry for so long. You’ve worked with people of different generations, you started with the elders, to the young collaborators, in your twenties, now in your twenties. How do you stay relevant from generation to generation?’Sharing the stage with Irani, Javed gave his signature witty and humorous reply before tackling the question seriously. “First of all, don’t say ‘eighties,'” he said. “Because in the eighties 87 also fall, and I’m only 80. The ‘s’ you added has had a very negative effect on my age.’ The witty remark sparked laughter in the room, with Aamir himself smiling and replying, “Sorry.”On the work front, Aamir was last seen in ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ and recently revealed that the sequel to ‘3 Idiots’ is in the writing stages.
