Aamir Khan has known Lata Mangeshkar since his childhood when she would visit his home to meet his father (the late Tahir Hussain). But the bonding between the two grew really strong when she praised Aamir for his singing in Aati Kya Khandala, observing that he held his sur right to the end of the song.

Lately, Aamir found no time to connect with the Nightingale, so much so that she confessed on Thursday to a mutual friend that Aamir had not been replying to any of her cards, calls and letters. The friend promptly conveyed the Nightingale's distress to Aamir who immediately decided to set things right.
He called her. Says Lata, "Aamir didn't have my new number. He sought out my number and then called. He explained how busy he had been travelling out of the country."
The singer had been planning to visit Aamir's place since his father passed away but was hesitant due to the lack of communication with his side. But now as the catchphrase goes, 'Aal Izz Well' between them. Aamir will soon be arranging a special screening of 3 Idiots for her.
Whatta film!
Adds Lata, "I love Aamir's cinema. What a film Taare Zameen Par was! Aamir told me he plans to take the whole year off now to produce films. I advised him not to lay off acting for such a long time. Public memory is so short." Lata is aware that her name is mentioned in 3 Idiots among the icons of our times.
Aamir will screen the film very shortly for the Mangeshkar family.
