Mumbai: Videos of several IPS officers visiting ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ actor-maker Aamir Khan’s Bandra residence went viral on social media on Sunday.
Even as three police vehicles, escorting nearly 25 IPS officers, were seen leaving Aamir’s residence, their purpose of visit was unclear, leaving fans concerned.
Amidst widespread speculation, the actor’s team cleared the air and stated that it was just a ‘courtesy visit’.
“It was a courtesy visit. They are all probationary IPS officers who wanted to meet Aamir Khan,” an official was quoted as saying by PTI.
“The IPS trainees of the current batch had requested a meeting with him, and Aamir Khan hosted them at his residence,” said a member of Aamir’s team.
He further shared that after the 1999 film ‘Sarfarosh’, several IPS trainees wanted to meet Aamir. The actor has since been meeting batches of IPS officers.
