Aamir argued for 4 hours over wedding scene with Madhuri

Aamir Khan and Madhuri Dixit starred together in 'Dil'. The film was a huge hit and the songs of the movie are still remembered. Recently Aamir Khan did a masterclass at the

Waves Summit 2025

and spoke about a scene from 'Dil' which just changed his perspective forever. There was a scene in the film where Aamir's character Raja barges into Madhuri Dixit's house and gets married to her without her father's consent.Saeed Jaffery played Madhur's father in the film. Raja locks himself in a room with Madhu (Madhuri's character) and breaks a table, lights it on fire and takes 'pheras' around it. Aamir thought that such an illogical scene will receive flak. Aamir revealed, "My mind is logical so I asked Indra that he is taking the pheras but there no witnesses. Saeed Jaffrey is alone and there is an old woman standing with him. So why is he panicking? He should just say that you can do whatever you want, you will ultimately open the door. Even if you say you are married, I will not accept it."He added, "I said how is that possible? They are smart people. They will see the pheras and even though we believe in it emotionally but from a father’s point of view, who does not want them to be together, he will take the common sense route. He will say now you go home.” Eventually, Aamir gave up and went as per the director's instructions. However, he was shocked when he went to the theatre and saw the reaction of the audience on this scene. Aamir said, "People started whistling, clapping. I was certain that log humpar thookenge uss scene mein (people will make fun of us). That day was a big learning for me. Technical and legal logic is one thing, the other thing is emotional logic. So when you take them on an emotional journey, then they are not thinking logically."

Earlier, Aamir had said that he is now really ashamed of the song, '

Khambe Jaisi Khadi hai

' from the film. He had said in an interview with Aaj Tak, "Hindi films have not been responsible enough, especially the way we project men and women. When we show something wrong in the films, we also show that the result of it is something positive. Which is wrong. And we often make the women an ‘item’ in films. Even the songs are like ‘Tu cheez badi hai mast mast’. And even I am involved in this and I have done such films. ‘Khambe jaisi khadi hai, ladki hai ya chadi hai.’ We are calling women ‘khamba’ but not humans. I am very ashamed of it."
