Aamir Khan's 90-year-old mother Zeenat to make Bollywood debut

Aamir Khan is gearing up for the release of Sitaare Zameen Par on June 20, 2025. In a group interview in Mumbai, on Wednesday, the actor surprised the media when he announced that his 90-year-old mother Zeenat will be debuting in Sitaare Zameen Par.  

His elder sister Nikhat will also be in the film, but she is a professional actor, NDTV reports. Aamir further added that it was by luck that his mother became a part of Sitaare Zameen Par. It wasn't planned.

The Bollywood actor shared how his mother has never accompanied him to any movie set, but something changed for this film. His mother accompanied him to the set on the day a wedding song was being shot. 

During the shooting, the movie's director came up to Aamir Khan and suggested that his mother be included in shooting the song. At first, Aamir Khan was apprehensive. But he asked his mother, who agreed to act as a guest in the song. 

"So, she is there in one or two shots. It's the only film of mine that she has ever been a part of," Aamir Khan said. 

"I don't know what came into her. She is turning 91 on June 13, a week before our film's release," he said.

Aamir concluded by saying that his sister Nikhat has a few scenes in the film. But given that she is an actor, there are chances of them working again.

The plot of the film revolves around a frustrated basketball coach played by Aamir. He serves community service by training Neurodivergent adults after a DUI. He gains perception in this journey and his outlook towards life changes as he trains these players. The female lead is Genelia Deshmukh. There are 10 debutantes in the film.
