Aamir Khan spotted in a dhobhi get-up
Aamir Khan goes dehaati while shooting for an ad for a DTH service provider he endorses. The actor was spotted in a dhoti complete with an oiled-down look and twirling mouche, looking quite like a dhobhi.
Which begs the question: Is his upcoming production, Dhobhi Ghatu00a0-- directed by wife Kiran Raou00a0-- tying in with the brand in a cross-promotion?
This is also his first commercial shoot since returning from his long vacation in Europe.
AK in getups is not a new thing. In fact, the mercurial actor has done a series of commercials through the yearsu00a0-- in soft drink ads (see box) and for the DTH brand, has dressed up in various characters, most famously as an old Sardar and a half-man half-woman.
