Aamir Khan goes unconventi­onal!

-

Aamir Khan is known to be an extremely private person, but ever since he joined Instagram on his birthday (March 14), the actor has showcased a completely different side of himself. Right from the first day, Aamir has been giving fans glimpses of his personal life on the photoshari­ng portal.

A source close to the actor says, “On the other two social media platforms (Twitter and Facebook), Aamir only posted content regarding his films and expressing his views through words. But through Instagram, he has been treating his fans with pictures that people would never see otherwise.”

The first picture that Aamir put up was an heretofore unseen picture of his mother, Zeenat Hussain. Subsequent­ly, he shared a picture with his son, Azad, and their pet dog, Imli, when he returned home from Rajasthan on his birthday. The picture showed Aamir reading a birthday card that Azad had made for him. The third picture on his account shows the actor posing with a bunch of kids of Jakhangaon village in Maharashtr­a.

“Aamir’s idea is to share special moments of his life with his fans. He has opened himself to his fans in a very unique manner,” says the source, adding that his Instagram account functions in a unique manner. “Thus far, Aamir has shared three collage grids of nine photos each, so the picture is broken down like pieces of a puzzle on your timeline. Also, it’s interestin­g that his Instagram page does not archive, so each time the actor posts, his previous posts are deleted to host the new image.”
