However, academics have never been his strongest area. In an earlier interaction with IANS in 2009, the actor admitted that school authorities often disciplined him for his lack of interest in studies.“When I was at school, kneeling in front of the principal’s office was a regular occurrence. I was caned a few times too. It’s strange that when you’re caned you don’t realize the pain right away, but then it becomes so bad two seconds later… it was so bad. I used to be more interested in sports, so I always forgot to do my homework. Also, bad grades often got me into trouble. I used to get scolded a lot.“The actor also opened up about how his passion for theater gradually took him away from academia. “My education was only till 12th grade because after that, I started getting into movies. Even in 11th and 12th grade in college, I hardly went to classes because I was always busy with dramas. Because of that, my college life was not very rock ‘n’ roll.” But during the filming of “Three Idiots”, I experienced moments of student life and enjoyed the student lifestyle.“On the work front, Aamir was last seen in ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’.
