A Fresh Perspective on Disabilities and Challenges
Unlike Taare Zameen Par, where Aamir’s character played a mentor role to a young boy with dyslexia, Sitaare Zameen Par flips the narrative. The actor revealed that this time, the story focuses on ten individuals, each facing unique challenges, who, instead of receiving help, actually assist his “supposedly normal” character. Aamir expressed that this approach feels more “advanced” in exploring perspectives on disabilities and self-discovery, as it shows how people with diverse abilities contribute and support each other in their unique ways.
