What is unbelievable is that Aamir used to monitor
the website and constantly update it. It is said
that he reads all the comments posted on the website
and personally answers most of them.
But all this will officially come to an end on
October 9th, 2007 as the actor has decided to
close down the site due to lack of bandwidth.
A recent posting on the website read thus: “Well
folks, all good things must come to an end and
it is with a heavy heart that I inform you that
this is my last post on this blog ... The reason
guys, is that henceforth I will simply not have
either the time or the bandwidth to continue with
this blog.”
The end of the blog site is in tune with Aamir’s
plan to start his own website www.aamirkhan.com.
While the website will continue to feature his
blogs, the most surprising aspect is that Aamir
has also decided to host a 24x7 chat session.
Movie buffs can chat with each other and when
time permits the actor himself would join the
session.
The site, scheduled to be launched on October
10th, at 12:01 AM IST is sure to witness a record
number of hits. Word is that the star will participate
in live chats between 9 PM and 10 PM on that day
and will launch the curtain raiser of his forthcoming
movie Taare Zameen Par in the website. The movie’s
official launch will be on the next day, which
means those registered with the site will get
to see the sneak peak of the awaited movie, a
day earlier.
An actor, famous the world over for his versatile
acting, has come up with a unique way to interact
with his fans. Aamir’s move to start a website
goes on to prove how much his fans mean to him
and their criticism as well. What remains to be
seen is that; will our Kollywood heroes follow
suit and start having websites of their own to
let fans air opinion on their sites.
