On Sunday, Aamir Khan was found in Varanasi in an old man’s attire – with a shawl wrapped around his head and a fake set of teeth. As a part ‘Alternative Reality Game’, a promotional initiative by ‘3 Idiots’, Aamir had disappeared with no trace couple of days back. The clue read out by Sachin Tendulkar said that the actor is in his mother’s place. Varanasi is in fact where his mother was born.

Aamir seemed to have had a fun experience being in disguise and most importantly was roaming unrecognised by anyone. He is said to be accompanied by two crew members of ‘3 Idiots’. For Aamir this was an emotional journey as he had visited his mom’s childhood locality Tiliya Nala and went for boat rides in Dasaswamedh Ghat, which his mom used to take when she was a child. But the trip had a small twist when Aamir took an auto-rickshaw later… At around 5 am on Sunday, while returning from the Dasaswamedh Ghat where he had taken a boat ride, the auto ahead of Aamir's rickshaw tilted due to the potholes on the road. To avoid a collision, Aamir's rickshaw was forced to grind to a halt. Due to the impact, a co-passenger was hurt who was given medical aid immediately, revealed sources. Thankfully the actor had escaped unhurt.

However, Aamir’s mother simply refused to believe that he was in Varanasi, according to sources. “So he gave the phone to a local and asked him to tell his mother of his whereabouts. Since he was in disguise, the locals couldn’t recognise him,” shared the sources.

Finally the actor did find the house, Khwaja Manzil, where his mom lived in her early days and spent some time with its current owners.
