Aamir Khan has once again found himself at the center of online chatter—this time after a video of 25 IPS officers arriving at his Mumbai residence went viral. While social media buzzed with speculation, the actor has now clarified the reason behind the visit. From hosting civil service trainees to announcing the unique digital release of his film Sitaare Zameen Par, Aamir is making headlines for all the right reasons.

At a recent event, the superstar addressed the viral video showing 25 IPS officers visiting his Mumbai residence.
