A true reminder that the horizon is endless, and so are possibilities. My first flight, but certainly not the last,” he wrote in the caption.On Taare Zameen ParSpeaking to Bollywood Hungama, Sachet had talked about working on Taare Zameen Par. “We were children back then. We were just playing around during the shoot. We both had a lot of fun and we were not as serious as they expected us to be! The minute Aamir uncle had the scene in mind, he used to get us in the mood and he would not allow anyone to talk to us once we were in that zone so that he could get the perfect shot. It helped us in understanding what was expected from us and then hopefully deliver it to the satisfaction of Aamir uncle,” he said.The film is a psychological drama that follows Ishaan, an imaginative and artistically gifted 8-year-old boy. Because he struggles with undiagnosed dyslexia and traditional academics, his frustrated parents send him to a strict boarding school. There, a compassionate art teacher recognises his learning disability and helps him overcome his challenges. The film won multiple awards and is frequently considered one of the best movies of Aamir Khan's career.Santanu Das is a Senior Content Producer at Hindustan Times with over 5 years of experience, writing on films, pop culture and film festivals.
