Actor-producer Aamir Khan attended the opening of the Red Lorry Film Festival in Mumbai, where a small gesture during the inaugural ceremony caught the attention of fans and attendees alike.
As the festival began, Aamir was invited on stage to light the ceremonial diya. Before stepping forward, the actor paused to remove his shoes, following the traditional ritual before lighting the lamp.
The moment quickly drew attention, with many praising his respectful approach to the ceremony.
About the Red Lorry Film Festival, the festival also featured filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker, who collaborated with Aamir on the Oscar-nominated film Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India.
The event is set to mark the film’s 25th anniversary with a special celebration. Now in its third edition, the festival is being organised by BookMyShow and will run in Mumbai from March 13 to 15.
The event will feature screenings of more than 120 films from around the world.
